Man United among clubs to enter race for 16-year-old Endrick dubbed 'next Neymar'

According to brazilian reporter Jorge Nicola, Man United have joined the clubs that are oursuing Palmeiras sensation Endrick.

Endrick is a 16-year-old left-footed forward capable of playing across the front three who has already been dubbed the 'next Neymar' for his potential.

The teenager signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras after scoring 170 goals in 172 games for the academy teams.

Man United are quite late in this race: Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG have already been linked with Endrick, with Newcastle and Tottenham also entering the chase.

His current contract is active until 2025 but is understood to have a ₤42m release clause. If the Brazilian is so talented as the big clubs think he is, that sum is going to be a bargain.
