Genoa president reveals Man Utd want Richmond Boakye

Genoa owner Enrico Preziosi has revealed an approach from Manchester United for youngster Richmond Boakye.

Genoa signed the Ghana striker back in 2008 following a youth tournament in Italy.

After turning 18 earlier this year, they opted to loan him this summer to lower league outfit Sassuolo.

"Is it true that many clubs are already finding out about Boakye? A big Italian company (understood to be Juventus) and a great English one, Manchester United, have already asked me because he is very strong," he confirmed to Corriere dello Sport.
