Manchester United interested in signing 20-year-old star viewed as a long-term replacement for Bruno Fernandes: Reports

Manchester United have shown an interest in signing Israeli youngster Oscar Gloukh as a long-term replacement for captain Bruno Fernandes. The RB Salzburg midfielder is widely viewed as one of the finest prospects in his position, attracting interest from around Europe.

Red Devils captain Fernandes has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in recent months, and had interest from Saudi Arabia this summer. The Portuguese midfielder, 29, signed a new contract with the Premier League side, but the club is planning for life after him.

Erik ten Hag's side are keeping tabs on the 20-year-old Gloukh ahead of a potential attempt to sign him, as per Fussball News. Like Bruno Fernandes, the attacking midfielder has shown that he is capable of scoring and creating goals with his Austrian side.

Gloukh joined Salzburg from Maccabi Tel Aviv but came close to signing with Borussia Dortmund, instead. The Israel international has also had interest from Barcelona and a host of Premier League sides since arriving in Austria, as well.

Oscar Gloukh has been impressive in the Austrian top-flight, with 14 goals and 23 assists to his name in 65 appearances for Salzburg. This season, the youngster has already contributed three goals and three assists in only eight appearances, as well.

Manchester United sees Gloukh as a player with the technical qualities to perform in the Premier League, as they did with Fernandes. Particularly with the struggles of Mason Mount to provide cover for Fernandes, the Red Devils may opt to sign Gloukh in January or next summer.
