Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on the progress of highly-rated Flamengo forward Vinicius Junior. The 16-year-old is also on the radar of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Barcelona.
Vinicius has captured the attention of elite European clubs following his excellent display at the Copinha Under-20 tournament where amassed four goals and five assists in six games.
According to The Independent, the Red Devils will not have an easy route to the youngster after they were denied the first refusal on the player.
With interest from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona, Flamengo are prepared to discuss a complete package for the teenager, who has a £26m buy-out clause in his contract.
Vinicius has yet to feature for the Flamengo senior side, but the club's hierarchy seem to dub him as the 'next Neymar'. The striker is currently contracted to Flamengo until the summer of 2019.
