Manchester United 'make £5.7m Kenedy swoop'

Manchester United have reportedly lodged a £5.7m bid to try to sign Brazilian teenager Kenedy this summer.

The Red Devils are believed to have made moves in recent weeks to acquire the Fluminense forward, who has been dubbed 'the new Neymar'.

While Kenedy is expected to be playing in Europe from next season, The Metro claims that United are keeping tabs on the 19-year-old striker along with Barcelona.

The Old Trafford outfit are thought to have offered £5.7m to Fluminense in an effort to secure the player.

While the Brazilian club might not accept that price, United are said to be keen to do business as they expect plenty of competition for his signature.
