Man Utd want to sign tall striking sensation with a formidable goalscoring record - report

Manchester United are one of several clubs closely following the progress of Liefering striker Kenneth Adejenughure, according to the Guardian.

The 17-year-old sensation is also on the radar of Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan, and more clubs may have him on their radar after his heroics at youth level.

Adejenughure is described as a ‘tall striker with a formidable goalscoring record at youth level’.

Man United would love to recruit his services if he can replicate that form at senior level after joining Red Bull Salzburg’s reserve team in the Austrian second division.

He impressed former interim Red Devils manager Ralf Rangnick in the summer during a four-day camp for young players.

The 66-year-old tipped Adejenughure to develop into a top star, and Man United and other clubs have been regularly watching him.

He notched 16 goals in 20 games for RB Salzburg’s under-18s last term before catching the attention of European clubs after bagging four goals for Austria at the European U17 Championship in May.

Adejenughure has already scored a goal in one UEFA Youth League game this term and eight goals in eight games for Liefering, and he is slowly establishing himself as a first-team regular.

Man United have been focusing on signing young players under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and a move for Adejenughure could be on the cards if he keeps impressing at senior level.

The Red Devils already have 16-year-old Denmark youth international striker Chido Obi-Martin in their youth ranks, having signed him from Arsenal in the summer.

They will continue to bolster their options, and the Austrian sensation could be next to join them.
