Man Utd ahead of Chelsea, Liverpool for Feyenoord teen Melayro Bogarde

Feyenoord teen Melayro Bogarde is attracting major Premier League interest.

The Guardian says Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are all keen on Bogarde, nephew of the former Chelsea defender Winston Bogarde.

Bogarde, who plays for Feyenoord, is a target for the four Premier League clubs once he becomes 16 on 28 May. Until then the Holland under-16 international is a free agent.

United have instructed their Dutch scout, Henny de Regt, hired by the club when Louis van Gaal was manager, to monitor Bogarde. De Regt works closely with Nicky Butt, the head of United's academy, and has watched Bogarde play several times.
