Manchester United are the latest Premier League club to set their sights on Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga, according to reports.
Veiga has emerged as one of Europe's most in-demand young stars in recent months, with a summer move away from Spanish side Celta Vigo increasingly likely. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has registered eight goals and three assists from 24 appearances this season and is consistently one of his side's top performers.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have long been interested in the Spain under-21 international, but recent weeks have seen several Premier League sides including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City expressing their interest. And now 90min names United in the latest batch of sides eyeing the prospect.

Veiga signed a new deal at Celta Vigo last summer to keep him under contract with the La Liga side until 2026, although the report adds that a release clause of around €40million can be activated. Veiga's preference is thought to be to remain in Spain.
Elsewhere, Sport1 reports any pursuit of Jurrien Timber from United will face competition from Bayern Munich. Dutch centre back Timber has often been linked with a move to Old Trafford and a reunion with Erik ten Hag, who he played under at Ajax.
Ten Hag has not lost interest in his former player, with recent reports suggesting United could return for the 21-year-old this summer. But Bayern could provide stiff competition. The Bundesliga club have Timber on their radar as a replacement for Benjamin Pavard, should the Frenchman refuse a new deal - although the report adds their preference is for Pavard to stay put.
