Manchester United are reportedly 'looking good' for the signing of 18-year-old Le Havre attacking starlet Enzo Kana-Biyik during the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils made headlines earlier this season when they poached teenage sensation Chido Obi from Arsenal, and the former Gunner has already been exposed to first-team football under Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese has had no problems handing minutes to embryonic players, also starting Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson in the weekend's 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, where the latter's performance was lauded.
Obi's fellow Arsenal graduate Ayden Heaven was also making waves in the first team before his recent injury, enhancing Man United's reputation as a club where young talents will be given a platform to shine.
Under the wing of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS regime, the 20-time English champions will also target up-and-coming players in the transfer window, as opposed to shelling out extortionate fees for ready-made stars.

Following previous reports that Man United were planning to make an offer for Kana-Biyik, journalist Christopher Michel claims that the Red Devils are 'looking good' for a summer swoop for the teenager.
Born in January 2007, Kana-Biyik has had a direct hand in 10 goals in 17 appearances for the Le Havre Under-19 side, bagging nine of his own while providing one assist.
The 18-year-old has not yet made his senior debut for Le Havre, but he has made the bench on two occasions this season, including in a 2-1 Ligue 1 win over Lille back in February.
Kana-Biyik has also won three caps for the France Under-18 side, but he is due to become a free agent this summer, meaning that Man United are poised to sign him without paying Le Havre a penny.
What else will Man United do in the summer window?
Will #MUFC make a move for Enzo Kana-Biyik? According to my information, it looks good. Negotiations with Le Havre are not necessery, as he's a free agent. Great talent. @mufcMPB https://t.co/SxKHBR3bXM

It is no secret that Man United want to add more firepower to their squad this summer, but Kana-Biyik will certainly not be expected to solve the club's goalscoring problems on his own next season.
The Red Devils will be pursuing a new big-name striker too, albeit probably not a Viktor Gyokeres or Victor Osimhen, who are both in the prime of their careers and will cost a hefty amount of money.
Instead, Man United should prioritise a swoop for Ipswich Town's Liam Delap, who will be available for just £30m if the Tractor Boys are relegated, while Lille's Jonathan David will be available on a free too.
Further back, a new goalkeeper is thought to be a priority amid Andre Onana's error-strewn displays, while a new centre-back and new midfielder would not go amiss based on exits.
Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are among the veteran players who could depart, while significant fees could be garnered for home-grown talents such as Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
