Man Utd, Chelsea told they can land Athletic Bilbao superkid Iker Muniain without protest

Athletic Bilbao youngster Iker Muniain is being tipped for a move to England.

The brainstrust at 'Spanish Leadership' say the exciting midfielder's future lies in England, where Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham will all be keen.

"Back in 2008 we saw Muniain making his Europa League debut in Bremen. He was just 16 and proved technically more gifted that Mesut Özil.

"However Özil plays for Real Madrid who will never consider signing him (Munain) because he is not a foreigner who would sell T-shirts. In other words, lack of leadership.

"Barcelona do not need to sign him having their own fruitful academy with players such as (Gerard) Deloufeu or Rafinha coming up as well.

"Muniain's future is the Premier."

Interestingly, Spanish Leadership also says: "Josu Urrutia, Athletic Bilbao's chairman, would have less PR problems selling Muniain than selling Fernando Llorente or Javi Martinez."
