Palmeiras starlet Gabriel Veron is still a target for the Premier League giants Manchester United.

The 18-year-old attacker, who has previously been linked with Manchester City, has chipped in with 11 goals and five assists in 40 appearances for the Brazilian outfit in all competitions.

Veron is expected to make a move away from the club this summer, and Serie A side Sassuolo have been strongly linked with his services in recent days.

However, according to Calciomercato, the Red Devils are still firmly in the race for the teenager and could make their move in the current market.

The report adds that Sassuolo are preparing to accelerate their pursuit of Veron ‘within a few days’, meaning that United will have to act quickly if they are to bring him to Old Trafford.

The Mancunian giants have already agreed a deal to sign Jadon Sancho this summer and are preparing to up their efforts to secure a deal for Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane and Rennes’ Eduardo Camavinga.
