Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the highly-rated Cameroon forward Christian Kofane from the Segunda Division side Albacete Balompie.
The 18-year-old attacking sensation has been linked with Real Madrid as well. Meanwhile, Manchester United are not the only English club keen on the player. They will face competition from Newcastle United and Aston Villa as well, as per Mundo Deportivo.
All of these clubs have made contact regarding a potential move, and it remains to be seen where Kofane ends up.
The youngster is expected to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and Manchester United are keen on securing his signature. He could prove to be a shrewd long-term investment for them. The Red Devils need attacking reinforcements this summer. They have been linked with multiple attackers in recent weeks.

Manchester United have done well to groom talented young players over the years, and they could help the 18-year-old fulfil his tremendous potential as well. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite exciting for the attacker. He will hope to fulfil his potential with Manchester United and establish himself as a key player for the club.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United follow up on their enquiry with an offer to sign the player. They have the resources to get the deal done for the 18-year-old.
The player is in impressive form right now with five goals in his last six matches, and his release clause is quite nominal for a player of his potential. Manchester United can sign him for €5 million. It remains to be seen whether they can beat the competition for his signature. They need to move quickly in order to get the deal done.
Real Madrid keen on Kofane
Similarly, Real Madrid are looking to add more quality to their squad. They are looking to build a formidable team for the future, and it is no surprise that they are keen on the 18-year-old. They are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and Kofane could be attracted to the idea of joining them.
