Man Utd, Man City chasing Rapid Vienna prodigy Yusuf Demir

Manchester United and Manchester City are chasing Rapid Vienna prodigy Yusuf Demir.

The Vienna-born ace, 15, has scored five goals in nine games for Austria's Under-17 side.

The Sun says both Quadruple-chasing City and arch-rivals United had the teenager watched recently - when he was named player of the tournament in the Mercedes Junior Cup.

Demir has bagged an impressive 23 goals in 18 games for Rapid's youth side this season.

A host of top European clubs are also on the youngster's trail - including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Roma.

But Demir is likely to be tempted to follow in the footsteps of City's Ilkay Gundogan - another German speaker with Turkish origins.
