Manchester United are in the race to sign Rennes midfielder Desire Doue.<\/p>\n

Given the massive drop-off in the form of Casemiro<\/a> this season as well as Christian Eriksen’s age, it appears that Man United are in desperate need of some midfield reinforcements.<\/p>\n

While Sofyan Amrabat was brought in on a season-long loan, his tenure at Old Trafford was not as successful as planned. Now, the Moroccan appears to be interested in departing for Italy, with Juventus<\/a> being named as a potential destination for Amrabat.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, it appears as if United are in desperate need of a midfield partner for Kobbie Mainoo. Now, United appears to have their eye on a young talent that can be offered as a long-term solution.<\/p>\n

According to TBR Football<\/a>, United are monitoring 18-year-old midfield talent Desire Doue.<\/p>\n

The Stade Rennais player has made a large impact on his team’s performances, contributing four goals and four assists in 29 Ligue 1 matches this season. He had proven particularly talented on the ball, completing 69% of his dribbles.<\/p>\n

As per FBRef<\/a>, he ranks in the 99th percentile of midfielders across Europe in successful take-ons, progressive carries, and progressive passes received, indicating a dribbling machine who’s adept at evading the opposition press.<\/p>\n

Doue also appears to be effective when tracking back, making 1.1 tackles per game and winning 55% of his ground duels. (Stats via Sofascore<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The French teenager has also shown his worth on the international stage, representing the France U23 team twice, scoring two goals for the national side.<\/p>\n

Still, the path to signing the youngster may be far from simple given that United are not the only team with Doue on their radar.<\/p>\n

Premier League rivals Arsenal are also believed to be monitoring the French teenager, as are Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona, and Napoli.<\/p>\n

Given his ability to play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, and winger, Doue could prove to be the utility player that United need, especially with wingers such as Antony and Marcus Rashford struggling to find form this season.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, United may need to act fast if they are to bring Doue to Old Trafford, especially with so many rivals sniffing around what appears to be a top talent.<\/p>\n
