Manchester United’s legacy has been built on a strong foundation of youth, so it is no wonder that they are constantly on the lookout for emerging talent across the world.

Youth has always been given the chance to flourish at the Theatre of Dreams, but the Red Devils have also prised away highly rated young players from other academies in recent years.

INEOS have invested in that strategy as well, signing the likes of Leny Yoro, Sekou Kone, Chido Obi, Diego Leon and Ayden Heaven.

United have now set their sights on a Ligue 1 prodigy who has caught the eye of multiple clubs across the continent.

United scouting Tylel Tati

According to Caught Offside, United have identified young Nantes defender Tylel Tati as an option to reinforce their backline and have sent scouts to watch him in action.

The 17 year old joined the Ligue 1 club from US Roissy-en-Brie in 2023 and rose rapidly through the ranks at the Stade de la Beaujoire. The French starlet was so impressive that he was included in the senior side’s pre-season squad this summer, where he caught the eye of new manager Luis Castro.
