Ponte Preta superkid Leandrinho is a target for Manchester United and Manchester City.

United are interested in signing Brazilian striker Leandrinho, the player's agent has claimed.

The 17-year-old striker has scored eight goals in nine appearances for Ponte Preta this season.

“Both Manchester clubs want to sign him and Real Madrid had sounded out on his availability in the past," his agent told Italian radio station Radio CRC.

“He is only 17 but he has the personality of a great footballer."

However, the agent said he wants to see Leandrinho join Napoli, because the Italian club has a “project".

“I am trying to bring him to Naples," he added. “I want to convince his family. English clubs offer lot of money, but Napoli have a project. “He can't sign any contract before January 2017, when he'll turn 18. He's a pure striker."
