Manchester United 'tracked' Arsenal's record-breaking youngster and more transfer rumours

Manchester United have reportedly been tracking Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, the youngest player to ever feature in the Premier League.

According to The Times, United have shown an interest in signing Nwaneri, alongside Manchester City and Liverpool. The Arsenal teenager became the youngest ever Premier League player when he came on as a substitute for the Gunners during their 3-0 win at Brentford.

Aged only 15 years and 181 days, the midfielder broke the record previously held by Harvey Elliott in the Premier League era, aged 16 years and 30 days - and Nwaneri is now believed to have attracted the interest of Erik ten Hag's side. The youngster isn't currently eligible for a scholarship until he turns 16 in March, meaning he has no long-term commitment to the Gunners - something which will no doubt see top clubs circle to try and snap him up before his price soars.
