Manchester United scouts were noticed watching Trabzonspor duo, Abdulkadir Omur and Yusuf Yazici, as confirmed by the club’s president.
The Red Devils took themselves out of the top-four race with a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town last weekend. It has made abundantly clear by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that an entire squad overhaul is being planned.
The United manager, who often follows the blueprint of his old boss, Alex Ferguson might also be in favour of injecting a bit of youth into this squad.
Omur and Yazici are two of the most talented youngsters in the Super Lig with the potential to make it into the European top tier leagues.
“Our players have been watched closely for a long time. Today, Manchester United and Lille scouts were at the game (a 4-2 win against Kayserispor),” Ahmed Agaoglu said when asked about the prospects of the two leaving for Old Trafford.
“It makes us very proud that Trabzonspor players are on the radars of the biggest clubs in Europe.”
Omur has been hailed as the next Lionel Messi for his quick feet and incredible dribbling ability. The winger has scored 9 goals in 29 games this season.
Mesut Ozil, who is a German international but of Turkish origin, has previously lauded Yazici. The Arsenal number ten was quoted, “Yusuf Yazici is an amazing No 10. We have a lot of similarities and I myself in him. His left foot, his position, his close passing and calmness on the ball.”
