Man United competes with Chelsea and Arsenal for Gabriel Rajkovic
Summary

Manchester United is in a competitive race with Chelsea and Arsenal to secure the signing of 15-year-old Gabriel Rajkovic from Valerenga. Rajkovic, who became the youngest debutant in Eliteserien history earlier this year, has attracted significant interest following his first senior goal in August. Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham, along with several major European clubs, are also monitoring the young talent. The increasing competition makes it challenging for United to secure the player as they look to bolster their youth lineup amid ongoing defensive concerns.
