Looking ahead. Manchester United show interest in Ghanaian Caleb Yirenkyi

Caleb is being considered as an alternative to the more expensive Carlos Baleba.

Details: According to TeamTALK, Manchester United have reached out to Danish side Nordsjælland to inquire about the 20-year-old Ghanaian prodigy Caleb Yirenkyi.

It is reported that Yirenkyi is seen as a potential new signing for the Red Devils in case there are complications in landing Brighton's star Carlos Baleba, whom Manchester is eagerly awaiting.

Manchester United scouts flew to Denmark last weekend to watch Yirenkyi in action firsthand, and he did not disappoint, putting on a man-of-the-match performance against SønderjyskE with both a goal and an assist.

Nordsjælland are open to considering Yirenkyi's departure, but will demand a substantial fee for the talented midfielder.

This season, Caleb Yirenkyi has played 22 matches for Nordsjælland, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists. His current contract with the Danish club runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €6 million.
