Revealed: Man United have been scouting wonder-kid who has been involved in 15 goals in 17 games for months
Trabzonspor wonder-kid Yusuf Yazici has been scouted by Manchester United for months according to the Hurriyet newspaper.
Per the source, United have been keeping close tabs on the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.
Turkish-Football have also reported United interest in the Turkish under-21 international.

Yazici has helped turn around the fortunes of Trabzonspor in 2017.
The youngster was promoted to the first-team and became a regular in the starting line-up after the winter break.
Since his introduction into the team Trabzonspor have lost just once and have gone from the threat of being involved in a relegation battle to pushing for a top four finish.
Yazici has played an instrumental role in Trabzonspor’s turn around.
The attacking midfielder has directly been involved in 15 goals in 17 games – 10 goals, five assists.
Yazici recently struck a five-year contract extension deal with Trabzonspor.
The powerful midfielder is however, keen on moving abroad and recently joined the same management agency as Mesut Ozil and Ilkay Gundogan – headed by Dr Erkut Sogut – with the aim to accelerate his chances of landing a deal with a major club.
