Manchester United frontrunners to sign Thiago Almada

Manchester United have reportedly entered pole position in the race to complete a deal for Velez Sarsfield wonderkid Thiago Almada.

The Red Devils were recently linked with the 19-year-old, and now Todo Fichajes claim that United have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign him after entering into advanced talks over a deal.

The report adds that the Premier League giants could agree on a deal for the Argentine winger in the coming weeks.

United fans would surely be glad to see this deal go through, with the prospect could already add some much-needed spark to their attack.

The 20-time English champions have had an up-and-down start to the season, and Almada could be a good addition to an option out wide.

Todo Fichajes reports the teenager wants to level up his career and it could therefore make sense that he’d be eyeing a move to the English Premier League.

Almada has scored nine times in 43 appearances for Velez Sarsfield.
