Manchester United eyeing David Eze from Manchester City academy

Manchester United is reportedly targeting 16-year-old David Eze, a highly regarded talent in Manchester City’s academy. Eze, who has captained England at the under-16 level, possesses a diverse skill set that enables him to excel both defensively and offensively. United's scouts have taken notice of his performances, and with Eze not eligible to sign a professional contract until next year, the club sees an opportunity to secure his services. Manchester City is said to be reluctant to lose Eze to their local rivals. Should he join United, Eze could pair with standout JJ Gabriel in the youth setup.
