Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves is backing their interest for Borussia Dortmund whizkid Ousmane Dembele.
Dembele is being linked with a £50 million move to United.
"I think he has the potential [to win the Ballon d'Or]. I think he's going to be there," Hargreaves told BT Sport.
“He has had a remarkable season for Dortmund already – he's had 17 assists in all competitions – and he's been devastating.
“He's magnificent with both feet and so quick, so powerful. Eventually, he's going to be in that Ballon d'Or conversation.
“He's that good a player. Everybody in Germany has been impressed by how talented a player he is at the stage of his career."
