Manchester United are facing stern competition from Crystal Palace and AS Monaco for exciting Derby County prospect Malcolm Ebiowei this summer, Megasportsarena.com understands.
The 18-year-old is expected to leave the Rams during the transfer window after making his Championship debut last season during the club’s doomed attempt to avoid relegation after a 21-point deduction.
The teenager made 16 league appearances, 11 of which were starts, and scored one goal, in a win at Blackpool in April.
The left-footer has been prolific in the Under 18’s Premier League. In that competition, the England youth international scored seven goals in seven games, with one assist.
Ebiowei had spent time with Arsenal and Rangers without making the cut, but his breakthrough under Wayne Rooney at Pride Park has seen him catch the eye of bigger clubs.
Manchester United and Crystal Palace are leading the race for his signature, with French side AS Monaco also keen but the youngster prefers to move to a Premier League outfit.
Newcastle and Tottenham have also been linked with the striker, so he has plenty of options in front of him as he looks certain to leave Derby over the summer.
