Manchester United and Arsenal have reportedly both registered their interest in a talented Argentinian winger.
Argentina has been a reliable source of talent for Premier League clubs for many years.
Most notable in recent years, was Manchester City’s signing of Julian Alvarez from River Plate.
Manchester United’s bitter rivals signed the striker in the summer of 2022, for a fee in the region of £14m.
And in his second season at the Etihad, the Argentine registered an impressive 19 goals and 13 assists in a season in which City won the Premier League.
That season led to the sale of Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for a massive fee of £81m, and the 25-year-old has continued to impress in Madrid.
The race is now on to find the next Alvarez, and Manchester United have reportedly identified another impressive young player from River Plate.
According to Sebastian Srur, the Red Devils, as well as Arsenal, are very interested in the signing of 18-year-old Ian Subiabre.
Speaking on X (formerly known as Twitter), he said: “From the information I have, and barring any last-minute unforeseen events, he’s set to start tomorrow in Junín.
“And I’ll also tell you that Arsenal and Manchester United are very interested in the kid from Comodoro. The interest is strong.”
Subiabre is a left-footed winger who plays for Argentina’s U20s team, and has featured for River Plate’s first team in recent months.
In his most recent appearance, the youngster scored his first goal for River Plate, against Rosario Central.
A natural winger, Subiabre has also been deployed in the centre-forward position and could bolster Ruben Amorim’s options across the attacking line.
Cuento cosas de #Subiabre:
Por la info que manejo y salvo un imprevisto de últimomomento, va de titular mañana en Junin.
Y les cuento además que el @Arsenal y el #ManchesterUnited están muy interesados en el pibe de Comodoro. Es fuerte el interés.#River pic.twitter.com/XaeSttqxqT— Sebastián Srur (@Sebasrur) April 4, 2025
