Rumours: Real Madrid Want Man Utd Teenage Sensation

REAL MADRID are monitoring Manchester United wonderkid Marcus Rashford, according to reports.

Ok Diario claim Zinedine Zidane is an admirer of the 19-year-old who burst onto the scene after making his debut for the Red Devils in February. Rashford has continued that good form for United this season, netting four times and providing one assist for his team-mates.

The teenager is currently on international duty with England preparing for matches against Scotland and Spain.

And Calciomercato claim Real will send scouts to watch the striker at Wembley on Tuesday evening. Many were concerned with Rashford's ongoing development at United this season following the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan .

But until the recent Premier League victory over Swansea, the striker had been included in the majority of Jose Mourinho's starting line-ups.

If Madrid were to make a sensational move for Rashford, then it would be a huge blow to the Red Devils. But they would not be able to make a move until January 2018 at the earliest due to the transfer ban FIFA have imposed on the club.

United return to action after the international break against Arsenal at old Trafford in the Premier League .

POGBA BACKS RONALDO FOR BALLON D'OR AHEAD OF MESSI

Paul Pogba has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or due to his title winning form with Real Madrid and Portugal. The Madrid star scored the winning penalty as rivals Atletico were beaten in the Champions League final via a shootout, before guiding his country to a first ever major tournament win in Euro 2016 this summer.

Ronaldo watched long-time rival Lionel Messi pick up his sixth Ballon d'Or in January, ending his two-year streak to boost his overall tally to three. But Pogba feels Ronaldo deserves to be awarded for his exploits thus far this season. "You have [Lionel] Messi, you have Ronaldo.

Honestly, I like them both. [Antoine] Griezmann has had an amazing year," he told ESPN Deportes. "For me, it's Cristiano Ronaldo [who should win], because he won the Champions League and Euro 2016."
