One of the key priorities for the Manchester United recruitment team has been on future talents.
When Sir Jim Ratcliffe was interviewed shortly after his investment into the club, he mentioned that the club would not be trying to sign a Kylian Mbappe type of player.
Instead, the club would look for the next Kylian Mbappe.
That focus has been evident in the summer window.

Chido Obi-Martin’s move from Arsenal is an example of that.
Another is the move for Sekou Kone.
The club already even have a pathway identified for Kone to the first team.
But it seems that the club haven’t just been looking at this new strategy in this summer alone.
It seems that Manchester United were on the lookout for talent even back in January.
That’s because TuttoJuve are reporting that Manchester United failed in an approach to sign Lorenzo Anghele in January.
The Italy U20 international was approached by United, Atletico Madrid and Club Brugge but reportedly said no to all these offers.
Juventus themselves see the player as non-transferable.
Anghele made his first team debut for Juve in August against Verona and is currently in discussions about extending his contract at the club.
For those wondering, Anghele scored three goals and registered three assists from 33 games last season for the Juventus reserve team.
It seems that while that door closed, another opened in the summer with Obi-Martin and United took the opportunity to bring the Arsenal youngster to the club.
So Lorenzo Anghele is most likely not going to be on the MUFC recruitment priority list in the short term future any longer.
But the approach shows that the United hierarchy are intent on signing the next Kylian Mbappe and taking a more long term approach to transfer recruitment.
