Manchester United are the latest club to register their interest in Adama Bojang, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Gambian wonderkid is quickly becoming one of the world's most sought-after talents. His exploits, particularly for the U20 national team, have caught the attention of some of Europe's biggest sides, and it's not hard to see why.

Despite only recently turning 19, Bojang already has several years of senior football under his belt and he has already played a crucial role in the history of his club, Steve Biko FC. It was his brace back in 2021 that sent the Gambian side up to the top flight.

Since then, he has gone from strength to strength. At the U20 African Cup of Nations in March, his goals proved crucial in firing The Gambia to the tournament final. Going that deep qualified the country for the World Cup in Argentina.

There, the towering, 191cm (6 ft 3 in) centre-forward impressed again, scoring twice in the Gambia's opener against Honduras. These performances have seen him linked with a whole host of big European sides.

Man Utd join the race

Liverpool and Chelsea had been the most high-profile suitors of Bojang, but Manchester United have now also joined that list, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Others are more advanced in their desire to bring the 'Gambian Hurricane' to their club, reports the Italian. The two sides that recently faced each other in the DFB-Pokal final, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig, for example, are "pushing hard to close [the] deal for Bojang," claims the transfer expert.
