Man United scouting Russian attacking midfielder
Former Manchester United attacker Andrei Kanchelskis claims he’s ‘not surprised’ by the club’s interest in Spartak Moscow youngster Mikhail Ignatov, who broke into the first-team squad at the start of the season and the attacking midfielder has the caught the attention with a string of convincing performances from midfield.
The Red Devils are one of many teams watching the starlet since his meteoric rise and Russian scout Kilibarda claims that he has been impressed with the teenager.
Asked about the 18-year-old, Kilibarda told Sport-Express: ‘He is very good, so everyone knows who I looked at. But this information is not disclosed. I look through all the teams in the territories for which I am responsible.’
‘Basically, I’m not surprised. This is probably possible. Scouts of Manchester United are watching many young, promising players. It is normal that this time they paid attention to a guy like Ignatov,’ he said.
‘What else can I say about this situation? Never mind. One game is not an indicator! Stability is a sign of excellence. How many young talents did we have and did they immediately go out?
‘If Ignatov will show his class throughout the season, then there will be food for thought. ‘Maybe now someone recommended him to the Manchester United scout. But for the time being, it is of course too early to assert a substantive interest.’
