MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to scrap it out with Real Madrid and Barcelona for Omer Beyaz from Fenerbahce.

Beyaz, 16, has been impressing for the Turkish side's academy which has caught the attention of some of Europe's top clubs.

Manchester City and Juventus are also interested, according to Fotospor.

The attacking midfielder is out of contract in 2021 and Fenerbahce will be hoping not to lose another emerging talent.

Merih Demiral left the club in 2016 to join Portuguese side AC Alcanenense and the defender now plays for Juventus.

Beyez has yet to make a first-team appearance for Fenerbahce but United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to continue his strategy of signing younger players to freshen up his squad.

Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Bruno Fernandes, signings made by the Norwegian, are all 25 or younger with Solskjaer hoping to build the foundations of a successful United side.

United are also considering a move for Birmingham City star Jude Bellingham, who is attracting interest from top clubs around Europe.

The 16-year-old has a staggering £30million valuation but United and Chelsea are said to be happy to meet that.

Bellingham is the Blues' youngest ever scorer and first-team appearance maker and has made 35 appearances already, scoring four times.

With Solskjaer's policy of signing younger players, the United boss has a decision to make on Odion Ighalo.

The 30-year-old joined on-loan from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season but after his impressive start, Solskjaer may consider making the deal permanent.

The Nigerian will happily take a £6million hit to complete the deal, which would be a 50 per cent pay cut to stay at the club.

Ighalo currently earns £240,000 a week at his parent club.
