Man United line up Real Madrid's 'new Raul' after losing out on Pedro to Chelsea

Borja Mayoral is on Manchester United's shortlist

MANCHESTER UNITED are considering a move for Real Madrid youngster Borja Mayoral.

 

The striker, dubbed the next Raul, is on Louis van Gaal's radar following an impressive campaign last year for the Castilla side.

The 18-year-old hit seven goals in seven games in the UEFA Youth League for Zinedine Zidane's side.He was also top scorer in the European under 19 Championships for Spain in Greece this summer.

 

He was also top scorer in the European under 19 Championships for Spain in Greece this summer.

And Van Gaal's frustrations in the transfer market have led him to consider making a bid.

According to the Daily Mail United could ask for Mayoral to be included in any deal for David De Gea.

 

The goalkeeper - who is yet to play for United this season - is still unsure on his future.

Real are still hopeful of completing a deal for De Gea this summer, although he would be able to move for free next year when his contract expires.

United this week lost out on a deal for Barcelona winger Pedro, who moved to Chelsea despite Ed Woodward flying out out to Spain to try and complete the deal.
