Manchester United have joined the clubs chasing
Nigerian wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho.

Arsenal also watched the striker star in the
recent Under-17s World Cup in the United Arab

The 17-year-old won the Golden Ball as the
tournament's best player.
He scoredsix goals in seven matches - including
one in Nigeria's victory over Mexico in the final
and four in one match against the
same opposition in the group phase - and also
provided seven assists.

The Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the just-concluded 2013 U-17 World Cup, Kelechi Iheanacho, has dismissed speculations that he has accepted a contract from Manchester United.

Iheanacho said he was yet to be offered a deal by any club.

‘Neither Manchester United nor any other club has ever approached me,” he said. “Alhough, I will like to play professional football, I don’t need to make any mistake in the choice of club, so I haven’t made myself available for any club.”

Iheanacho said his main focus since the commencement of the U-17 World cup was to play his best and win the cup for his country.

He said that accepting open conversation with club scouts while the competition was on would have distracted his focus.

“But now that the game is over, my agent and parents have a lot to do in my decision to move ahead in my future career,” he said. “I will prefer to start my professional career in England, than any other country in the world.”
