ARGENTINE YOUNGSTER ON UNITED'S RADAR
MANCHESTER UNITED are poised to make a £5million move for Argentine wonderkid Daniel Villalva.
Villalva, who plays for River Plate, has already been labelled the new Lionel Messi and is attracting interest from a number of top European clubs, including Real Madrid.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is planning to send scouts to watch the talented forward play in the Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria and clinch his signature ahead of their rivals.
Villalva, 17, said: "I am calm about my future and will not let things go to my head about a move to Europe.
"I'm happy to continue playing at River Plate and want to help them become champions."
Panathinaikos are also admirers of the teenager, nicknamed 'Keko', who made his debut at the tender age of 16.

must target those wonderkid at these age. If they turn out to be like messi or rooney, I am sure united wont mind paying large sums of money to entice them over.

not don't mind, they won't be able to compete with the big sharks like the RMs, Barca, or Chelseas.. the worst thing you can hear after signaling their approach is, I dream to wear the white jersey... KNN..
