Manchester United would have to wait beyond this seasonĀ to sign their long-term target KeprinĀ Diatta.
The Red DevilsĀ have been watching the SenegaleseĀ youngster over the past couple of months and Jose Mourinho is believed to have been impressed enough and wants to bring him next summer.
However, they have been warned that the youngster is not ready for a step up to the Premier League just yet.
Diatta has been impressing in the Norwegian league for Sarpsborg and he has even admitted that he dreams of playing for the Red Devils.Ā When he was told about Manchester United scouting him in their match against Odd, he said:
āI didnāt know they scouted me today, but to join them would be a dream come true.
I think Iām good enough, but I play for Sarpsborg and love this club.
āWeāll see what happens in the future.ā
People close to the club have also been talking, with one individual saying:
āThe objective for now is to play.
āI donāt think heās ready for a big European club.
You need to go through the steps methodically.ā
