English Premier League giants Manchester United are interested in signing Spanish international of Ghanaians decent Nico Williams, Footballghana.com can report.

The enterprising winger who plies his trade for Athletic Bilbao has been in a rich vein of form this season and has therefore become a subject of interest for several clubs including Manchester United.

It is said Manchester United are in search of a forward following the contract termination of Cristiano Ronaldo.

During the summer, the Red Devils attempted to sign Dutch forward Cody Gakpo but could not materialize.

Footballghana.com understands Manchester United have turned their attention to the Spanish winger.

The Red Devils are likely to wait until next summer to make an approach with Bilbao unlikely to sell in January.

The Premier League outfit could face competition from Real Madrid and Liverpool who are said to be interested in the youngster.

Liverpool will reportedly send scouts to watch him in action in Qatar and if he performs well he could attract attention from several clubs.

Bilbao are believed to value Williams at around £35million, but that fee could rise if he announces himself on the world stage.

Williams broke into Bilbao's team last season and made 34 LaLiga appearances but failed to score or register an assist.

 

He has improved significantly this campaign with three goals and four assists in 13 games.
