Manchester United are looking to sign highly-rated Ajax youngster Juan Familia-Castillo, according to the Daily Mail.
The teenager has been monitored closely by the Reds during the past year and the club have decided that now is the time to bring him to Old Trafford as he has developed further as a player.
Familia-Castillo, who turns 16 in January, is captain of the Holland Under-16 side and is able to play in the centre of midfield, as well as on the left.
He is a regular for the Ajax under-17 side, where he plays in an advanced role and has been noted for his ability on the ball and passing range.
If he joins the club, he will be the second Ajax youngster to join United at a young age in recent years, after Timothy Fosu-Mensah in 2014.
The same paper also says United are looking to sign New York Red Bulls defender Matthew Olosunde.
Olosunde is a product of the Red Bulls academy, and according to NBC Sports, the 17-year old has been training on and off with the Reds over the past five months after completing a trial with United back in July.
And United are prepared to offer him a contract subject to work permits and international clearance.
The man from Trenton, New Jersey first linked up with United during their pre-season tour of the United States this summer and impressed backroom staff while playing at right-back. Olosunde is also able to play at centre-back.
