Manchester United transfer news: Jose Mourinho sends scouts to watch Sarpsborg wonderkid Krepin Diatta as Red Devils ramp up their interest
SARPSBORG starlet Krepin Diatta is closing in on a "dream" move to Manchester United after the Red Devils ramped up their interest.
The 18-year-old midfielder has been watched on several occasions by Jose Mourinho's side.
And according to the Metro, the agent of the Senegalese ace has admitted he has already spoken to talent spotters from Old Trafford over a potential move.
Youssoupha Fall said: "I've spoken to Manchester United's scouts twice.
"First under the Under-20 World Cup, and again after the (league) game against Brann."
Mourinho and United have been keeping a close eye on Diatta's progress over the last 18 months.
They are believed to have upped their efforts to bring him to England by sending further scouts to Norway to watch Sarpsborg's clash with Odd last weekend.
And the teen revealed he would love a move to Manchester after he was informed of United's presence at his most recent outing.
