Genoa owner Enrico Preziosi has confirmed Manchester United are interested in their starlet Richmond Boakye.
The 18-year old Ghanaian, currently on loan with Sassuolo, has made an immediate impact at the Italian Serie B this season with six goals in 11 appearances and according Preziosi, the Red Devils have made contact regarding his services.
“Is it true that many clubs are already finding out about Boakye? A big Italian company (understood to be Juventus) and a great English one, Manchester United, have already asked me because he is very strong,” he confirmed to Corriere dello Sport.
Boakye joined Genoa in 2008 after playing in a youth tournament in Italy and is highly rated by the club.
