Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, one of the breakout stars in the Serie A this season, has been on the radar of several European clubs. Liverpool and Arsenal have joined Manchester United in their interest in the 19-year-old. Yildiz's stunning showing in their midweek 2-0 win over Manchester City confirmed their interest.

The Turkey international has been generating a lot of interest across the continent. According to TMW, Manchester United will have to battle with rivals Liverpool and Arsenal for his signature. Juventus, on the other hand, will be keen on not letting him go for a less-than-significant amount, if they do so at all.

It is also said that United have been speaking to Yildiz's agents for weeks now to lure him towards Old Trafford. However, along with their English counterparts, Borussia Dortmund too seem keen on bagging him in the upcoming summer transfer window. Unai Emery's Aston Villa too are interested.

Yildiz is currently on a reported salary of €1.6m, but it is learnt that all his suitors are willing to offer him more. The left-winger has already scored three goals and bagged two assists in the 15 matches he has played for Juventus in the Serie A this season. He also bagged an assist against Manchester City in the UCL midweek.


Manchester United looking to boost their wing

Manchester United, under new head coach Ruben Amorim, are keen on boosting their wings. The likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo currently ply their trade on the wings at Old Trafford, but Yildiz's arrival is bound to give them some competition.

United are not in their best vein of form this season and are languishing in the 13th position of the EPL table with 19 points to their name. The arrival of Amorim seems to have given their supporters some hope, and it is with this hope that they will travel to the Etihad to take on rivals Manchester City on Sunday, December 15.
