Manchester United have ‘been given the green light’ to make an approach for Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga this summer, even though they face stiff competition in the form of Real Madrid.
A number of clubs have been credited with interest in the 18-year-old since his breakthrough campaign last season.

His exhibitions have already given him international recognition after making his senior debut for the French national team last year and became the country’s youngest debutant since Rene Gerard 88 years ago in the process.
The Mirror reports that Rennes are keen to earn their valuable asset this summer – with just one year left on their current deal – giving United the chance to capture one of Europe’s most exciting talent.
However, La Liga giants Real Madrid are still leaders in securing their services, with Camavinga reportedly eager to merge with compatriot Zinedine Zidane.
While the news will undoubtedly be a blow to Gamla Gunnar Solskjær’s chances to land the kid, Zidane’s future in the Santiago Bernabeu beyond the end of the season looks far from certain, which means that the red devils could still be at the forefront of the competition. him.

Reports suggest that Zidane could face Real at the bag if he does not manage to secure cutlery until the end of the season, a possibility that is far from unthinkable with Los Blancos after La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid with six points and a tough Champions League quarter-final against the winners from Liverpool in 2019.
Camavinga’s agent Jonathan Barnett recently described the kid as “the best young player in the world”, and although he admitted it will be difficult to get big deals across the line this summer, Barnett expects to see some movement.
“It will be harder. I expect three or four very big deals that will break many records,” he told The Athletic.
“Hopefully they will happen. For the smaller clubs, I don’t think there will be that many transfers. We have some very good players.”
