Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho sends scouts to watch Diatta, he wants transfer move
JOSE MOURINHO has sent Manchester United scouts to watch Krepin Diatta as he ramps up his transfer interest.
Diatta, 18, plays for Norwegian club Sarpsborg 08 and is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in Europe.
All-action midfielder Diatta is Sarpsborg’s prized asset and they handed him a new four-year deal in February.
The teenager duly signed it but this will not stop United from making a move if Mourinho gets positive feedback from his coaching staff.
Diatta has previously admitted he’s open to a move to one of Europe’s giants.
He said: "I'm young and just have to work hard. It's a dream for me to play to play in the big leagues.
"But now I'm in Sarpsborg and I love this club. Then we'll see what's going on in the future."
United have delved into the Norwegian market before.
The Red Devils signed an unknown Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a £1.5illion deal from Norwegian outfit Molde in 1996.
Solskjaer went on to become part a United legend, scoring in the Champions League final to help them win the treble in 1999.
