Manchester United have contacted Barcelona over the signing of one of their young talents

Manchester United have reportedly made their first move to try to sign a player labelled "the leader of his generation" from Barcelona. La Masica graduates Gerard Pique and Cesc Fabregas managed to be tempted away by English clubs when they were youngsters, and Catalan paper Sport has suggested that United are now looking to do the same with teenager winger Marc Jurado. A player named 'the leader of his generation' according to the Sport article. Jurado turned 16 on April 13 and is said to be the subject of an email sent by United to Barca enquiring about his services. Barcelona, meanwhile, keen on keeping Jurado and are hoping to strike a deal with him in order to keep him at the club. Source: The Mirror
