Manchester United leading the race for Metz midfielder

Manchester United are supposedly at the top of the line for Metz midfielder Pape Sarr.

The Senegal international joined Metz from Senegal Premier League side Generation Foot last September and has made 16 appearances during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring twice.

The 18-year-old also made his senior debut for Senegal against Congo a month ago, and as indicated by The Sun, various European clubs have been exploring the teen recently.

The report asserts that Manchester United are presently leading the race for the midfielder, who signed a five-year contract with Metz upon his arrival a year ago.

Pape Sarr has played in every one of his side’s last 14 league matches, scoring against Brest and Montpellier in a back-to-back fixtures towards the start of 2021.

There is also supposedly solid interest from Nice, with Les Grenats apparently facing an intense task to keep hold of the youngster on a long term basis.
