United interested in Golden Boy nominee

 

Manchester United are tracking Genk’s 19-year-old wonderkid Leon Bailey, according to The Daily Mail.

 

Bailey, who was named as one of 40 nominees for Tuttosport’s Golden Boy award last month, reportedly turned down Chelsea and Ajax last year to remain with Genk.

 

However, United sent two representatives to watch Bailey get on the scoresheet in Genk’s 3-1 win over Sassuolo in the Champions League last week as speculation grows linking the Jamaican with a move to Old Trafford.
