Manchester United had a scout present for Senegal's 3-0 win against Gabon on Friday.
Mundo Deportivo says the United official was present to check on Barcelona defender Mika Faye.
The 19 year-old made his debut for Senegal and scored in the win.
Faye has been a regular for Barca Atletic this season and is being made available by the Blaugrana.
The youngster can play at centre-half and left-back.
