The reports this morning, eminating from Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that Manchester United are keen to snap up Real Madrid starlet Enzo Zidane. Whilst there are any number of burgeoning 16-year-old footballing talents currently vying for Premier League attention, this one rather sets himself apart by being the son of God’s-gift-to-football, Zinedine Zidane. He also, if this short clip from a Real Madrid youth game against Barcelona is anything to go by, has talent to burn.
It looks likely that Zidane Jr. will join Belgian club side Standard Liege on loan next season, in an attempt to give him the experience necessary to fulfill his potential.
Whether or not he joins Manchester United remains to be seen – there is after all no clear evidence that United have any interest in the youngster. You do feel, however, that his is a name we will start to hear more often in the coming years.
