Manchester United are tracking an Ajax star who has been likened in style to Jude Bellingham, according to reports.

The Red Devils have been keen to build on the growing pool of talent at Carrington, who are working towards breaking into Ruben Amorim’s first team.

Youngsters Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi-Martin were signed this season, and have impressed in appearances for the first team.

A focus on scouting young talents has been key to the United strategy, with 19-year-old Sekou Kone also signed in the summer for around £1m.

The Malian midfielder has featured extensively for the U21 squad of late, and looks primed for a first-team role in the coming years.

And according to MailSport, United have identified another youngster who could bolster the ranks at the academy.

Abdellah Ouazane is a versatile midfielder who currently features for both Ajax and Morocco’s U17s squads.

Manchester United are showing interest in the 16-year-old and could make an approach this summer.

Likened to Jude Bellingham, Ouazane impressed massively at the U17 African Cup of Nations 2025 before Morocco exited the competition in the quarter-final.

He assisted against Uganda and South Africa, and scored a brace against Tanzania.

A clip of the youngster in action for Ajax’s U15s went viral last year, when Ouazane showed incredible technique with the outside of his foot to find a teammate.

When asked about the talented teen, Morocco U17 coach Nabil Baha said: “He’s a player we count on a lot. He can make the difference. He was born in 2009 — people forget that.

“He’s a year younger than the others. But he plays at Ajax, and he’s full of talent.”

Should Manchester United choose to make an approach for the player this summer, Ouazane could add further talent to the growing group of exciting midfield prospects at Carrington.

Another talent, 14-year-old JJ Gabriel, made his debut last week for the Manchester United U18s, coming off the bench to score an impressive brace.
