Just In: Premier League youngster making waves this season wants Man United move
Manchester United are looking to make attacking additions in the summer transfer window and one of their targets is interested in a move to Old Trafford.
According to Football Insider, Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi is ready for a move away from the club, with both Manchester United and Liverpool closely tracking the young attacker.
Kroupi has seamlessly adapted to the relentless pace and physicality of the Premier League, bagging 10 league goals in a stellar debut campaign.

Michael Carrick’s side is reportedly looking to add to their ranks.
As United prepare for a significant summer squad overhaul under INEOS, they are keen to exploit the impending uncertainty down at Bournemouth, especially with their highly-rated manager Andoni Iraola expected to step down at the end of the season.
But Kroupi certainly won’t come cheap. Cherries have slapped a massive £60 million asking price on their prized asset.
Kroupi isn’t the only Bournemouth player turning heads in Manchester. The Red Devils are also reportedly keeping close tabs on midfield dynamo Alex Scott and Argentine center-back Marcos Senesi.
Raiding the Vitality Stadium seems to be a genuine, multi-player strategy for United’s hierarchy as they look to inject fresh, proven Premier League talent into their squad.

Should the Red Devils target a young attacker like Eli Kroupi?
A £60 million fee is an undeniably huge gamble for a 19-year-old, but in today’s heavily inflated market, securing a top-tier talent early can pay massive dividends down the line.
However, what Man United need the most right now is experience. Their attack right now consists of players like Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
All of them are talented and have done well this season, particularly in the second half of the season, but they need more experience in the team.
They need a leader who can lead their attack and has an experience of winning trophies.
With Bruno Fernandes playing the best football of his career right now, Man United should reward him with an attacker who is ready made and somebody who is going to make an instant impact.
Eli Kroupi is still young and a move to Man United at this early stage in his career could put more pressure on him rather than making him a world beater.
