Franco Mastantuono

Manchester United are ramping up efforts to sign Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono, aiming to outpace Chelsea, Liverpool, and even Real Madrid in what’s shaping up to be one of the most competitive transfer chases of the summer.

According to TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey, United have already opened talks with River Plate for the 17-year-old sensation. Mastantuono has exploded onto the scene in Argentina, registering six goals and four assists in just 17 senior appearances—a phenomenal return for a teenager still in the early stages of his career.
