Real Madrid, Barcelona challenge Man Utd for Anderlecht whizkid Eliot Matazo

Real Madrid and Barcelona are fighting over Anderlecht whizkid Eliot Matazo.

Just 15, Matazo is a Belgium U16 international midfielder and his emergence has attracted the attention of the world's biggest clubs.

The teen is a defensive midfielder and regarded arguably the best of his generation in his natural position.

Estadio Deportivo says Real and Barca are pursuing a deal for Matazo, but are not alone.

Manchester United are also amongst the scramble and it's suggested they have an advantage thanks to Romelu Lukaku's connection with Anderlecht.
