Arsenal and Chelsea were linked with the prodigious forward back in October with both clubs expected to make him contract offers upon turning 16 in January – when Burkhart will be allowed to legally negotiate senior terms.
But according to The Daily Mail, Manchester United have beaten their Premier League rivals to the punch and already opened talks to sign the Swiss starlet, hoping they can convince his family that Old Trafford is the best destination for his development.
Ajax midfielder Juan Familia-Castillo and New York Red Bulls defender Matt Olosunde are also on United’s shortlist of potential youth team recruits.
