Manchester United Eyes Barcelona's Mikayil Faye for Summer Transfer

Manchester United is eyeing Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye for a potential summer transfer after scouts watched the 19 years old impressive performance during his international debut for Senegal against Gabon. Faye, who joined Barcelona’s B side from NK Kustosija last year has garnered attention for his athleticism, physicality and technical ability.

Despite Barcelona’s plans for his progression, interest from elite European clubs like Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen and Inter Milan is growing. Manchester United in particular seeks versatile defensive options due to injuries and sees Faye as a potential solution. With Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite posing as another option, Faye’s versatility and lower price tag of around £25m make him an attractive target.

However, Leverkusen’s interest in Faye poses a potential challenge for United as the Bundesliga leaders are keen on bolstering their squad to compete in the Champions League next season.
