Manchester United are reportedly stepping up its pursuit of Ecuadorian midfielder Oscar Zambrano, who plays for LDU Quito.
The Red Devils face competition from other Premier League clubs, including Luton Town and Brighton & Hove Albion, but are keen on securing the 19-year-old prodigy.
Zambrano has caught the attention of European clubs, with Barcelona expressing interest last year. Having made nearly 50 appearances for LDU Quito, he is on the verge of breaking into the Ecuadorian national team.
Manchester United’s interest in Zambrano aligns with their tradition of developing promising young players, and with Casemiro nearing the end of his career, they see the youngster as a potential long-term successor.
The Ecuadorian sensation could benefit from learning under Casemiro’s guidance before eventually assuming the role of the first-choice holding midfielder. As other Premier League clubs also pursue Zambrano, Manchester United are intensifying its efforts to secure his signature, hoping to beat the competition for this South American midfield gem. The outcome of this race for Zambrano’s services will be intriguing to watch.
