Manchester United scouting Turkish youngster dubbed 'New Yaya Toure'

Manchester United are among the Premier League clubs after Turkish youngster Ozan Tufan, according to reports in Turkey via Chronicle Live.

The 21 year old plays for Fenerbahçe, as a defensive midfielder, but can also operate as a right back and right wing. He made his debut for the Turkish senior side in 2014, and was in the squad to the European Championship, where he scored the second goal in Turkey's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic.

Fenerbahce boss Vitor Pereira has likened the player to Manchester City's Yaya Toure.

"He still has a lot to learn and that is my job but the world will soon have a Central midfielder on the level of Yaya Toure on their hands." He said describing Tufan.

According to reports in Turkey, United have been scouting the player for the past 12 months.

The player has recently attracted interest from the likes of Everton, Southampton and Sunderland.
