Lennart Karl: Man United keeping tabs on Bayern Munich’s record-breaking 18-year-old

Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Bayern Munich's 18-year-old talent Lennart Karl, according to German football expert Christian Falk. Alongside United, Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool have also taken notice of the attacking midfielder amid potential friction following public comments by Bayern supervisory board member Uli Hoeness. Falk reports that inquiries have been made and that there has not yet been any contact over a new contract.

Karl is Bayern Munich's youngest ever Champions League goalscorer and finished fourth in the Men's Kopa Trophy voting. He is currently valued at €60 million (£50.1 million) for a permanent transfer. The Peoples Person notes that United are consistently monitoring top European youth prospects, having recently brought in several international talents.
