Italian wonderkid Simone Pafundi's move to Lausanne-Sport will have an impact on Manchester United.

The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has signed for the INEOS-owned club on loan from Udinese.

Per Blick, INEOS now have a connection that could see Pafundi eventually move to United.

He is seen as a huge talent and has been brought into their Swiss club for this reason.

They want to see if he has the talent to go on to play for either Nice or Man United, the other two teams INEOS has a stake in.

United were linked to Pafundi, along with rivals Liverpool, back in 2022.
