Man Utd ‘sends an email to Barcelona’ for signing young talent Marc Jurado

Manchester United reportedly made its first move to try to tempt a player named “the leader of his generation” away from Barcelona.

Although the Catalan club’s La Masia academy is famous for producing stars like Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and, of course, Lionel Messi, the club has also lost several youngsters over the years due to other clubs offering tempting offers when they still they are teenagers

The likes of Gerard Piqué and Cesc Fábregas managed to be tempted by English clubs when they were young, and the Catalan newspaper Sport has suggested that United are now trying to do the same with teenage winger Marc Jurado.

A player named ‘the leader of his generation’ according to Sport’s article, via Sport Witness, Jurado turned 16 on April 13 and is said to be the subject of an email sent by United to Barca to ask about his services.

However, it is believed that Barça are interested in keeping Jurado, and they hope to reach an agreement with him to keep him at the club.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently spoke about his club’s plans in the transfer window, saying that other clubs could “explode” during the blocking of the football coronavirus.

“Soccer will return to normal at one point, and it is very important that we be ready when that happens,” he told Sky Sports.

“We want to be the best in everything and, of course, now is an opportunity to spend more time, they discuss players, they discuss plans, we have evaluated what we need, of course with the technical staff that we have seen the games, evaluated games, discussing in video calls like this. “

Who knows how the market will react to this? Who knows which clubs need to sell players? There may be a situation where it can explode, and I know that at Man United we are one of the largest and most economically wealthy.

“I am sure that we are capable, when we return to normality, that we can do the business that we want.”
