The 23-year-old has been on United’s radar since 2022, and with his stock continuing to rise, the Premier League giant is now actively assessing his potential acquisition.

This interest follows a winter bid from Atletico Madrid, which Celtic rejected, not willing to sell the player halfway through the season.

Atletico’s manager, Diego Simeone, is keen to rekindle his interest in the summer, but Manchester United’s involvement could spark a bidding war.

Celtic is expected to demand a record-breaking fee for the Scottish Premiership, and a bidding war could see the Hoops rake in an extra few million.
