The Hurriyet claim that United are prepared to offer £6 million for the rising star before his valuation sky rockets.

Under is the latest rising star to emerge from the highly acclaimed Altinordu football academy.

The Izmir based club have invested heavily in youth development and plan to build a side comprised solely of in-house players.

Under has hit the ground running at Basaksehir this season.

The youngster has been directly involved in 16 goals this season – nine goals, seven assists.

Under scored a brace against Istanbul giants Fenerbahce and Besiktas last week.

Basaksehir president Goksel Gumusdag confirmed after the 3-1 victory over reigning champions Besiktas last weekend that Premier League and La Liga scouts did attend the game to monitor their hot talent.

“There were scouts from Premier League scouts and La Liga teams at the Besiktas derby,” Gumusdag was quoted as saying by Turkish-Football.

“I will reveal the details at the end of the season as I do not want to distract the team.

“We do not want to sell Under but will discuss this once the season is over.”

Under has been called up to the last three Turkish national team games and scored on his official debut in the 3-1 victory over Moldova.

The youngster would have to feature in at least 60 percent of Turkey’s international games over the next two seasons to be eligible for a work permit to play in the Premier League.
