Is there any truth in United being linked to Desire Doue?

He's looks a hell of a talent, seems to be able to play everywhere, wide on either side, false 9/ second striker, No.10, No.8, I've even seen him play No.6. He has such a good understanding for a young player that he can play all these positions and not look like a square peg in a round hole. Ultimately I think he'll end up as one of these hybrid No.8/ No.10's that seem to becoming fat more popular in the modern game. Someone who can be the creative hub of the teams but still does their defensive work off the ball.
I'd be happy to see the club sign him, although I'm not sure he would be considered as a player in a priority position. Also like with João Neves, would the club really look to play two teenagers in two of the three midfield positions on a regular basis. While slightly less impactful having Doue as a Bruno replacement alongside Mainoo, rather than Neves as a Casemiro replacement deeper along Mainoo. I still don't see many managers who'd regularly have two teenagers start in the heart of their team.

Looks like a Wengeresque signing.

I'm not going to pretend I'd ever heard of him but looks a great prospect. The fact he can play on either side would be a huge plus, I like the fact we can mix it up with Garnacho in that regard whereas we feel completely stuck with Antony.

He’s the spit of Greenwood. Fantastic talent.

It would be nice if for once we actually get a player like him.
