Antoni Milambo, a 19-year-old attacking midfielder currently playing for Dutch side Feyenoord, is reportedly a future transfer target for United, who have included him in a shortlist of players they hope to bring to the club.

According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, the talented youngster has been on United’s list for a long time and a move for him has been considered multiple times

Milambo joined Feyenoord’s academy in 2015 at the age of 10 and He signed his first professional contract with the club five years later on 15 October 2020.
