Manchester United have bid for Ecuadorian 15-year-old sensation Kendry Paez.

The midfielder has already been promoted to the first-team squad of home-country champions Independiente Del Valle. Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo came through the system at Independiente Del Valle.

And Ecuadorian media say Paez has been tracked by top European clubs.

It's also claimed United had an offer rejected several months ago.

Paez would not be formally able to move to Europe until he was 18.
