According to reports from the Daily Mail, Manchester United are plotting an audacious move for Bordeaux youngster Malcom.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed in the 2017-18 Ligue 1 campaign for Bordeaux, scoring seven goals and further registering four assists in the league.

The report claims that Jose Mourinho has sent his scouts to follow the youngster’s progress, and he is impressed with the Brazil U23 international.

The versatile attacker has been a revelation in the French league this season, and United will need to make their opening gambit close to the £30 million mark as the Ligue 1 side are reluctant to sell their prized asset.

Tottenham should join the race as well and challenge United for the youngster’s signature. He would be an ideal signing for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

The Argentine has shown great commitment to developing young talents, and the purchase of Davinson Sanchez shows that he is ready to pay big money for young players if they are good enough.

Although Spurs have plenty of attacking players at their disposal, there is always room for quality addition in the side.

The most attractive feature is the youngster’s versatility. He is mainly a right attacking midfielder, but is tactically smart enough to play across all three positions in midfield.

He may not be the type of player who would make an instant impact and make a massive difference to the already star-studded squad straightaway, but, like Sanchez, he is worth the investment.
