Manchester United are reportedly close to confirming the signing of Marc Jurado, who is leaving Barcelona this summer.

While the Catalan giants have high hopes for the 16-year-old, club officials were unable to agree terms with the prospect's representatives.

That has resulted in confirmation that the young defender will be departing Camp Nou, increasing the possibility of a switch to Old Trafford.

Although Jurado has not provided any hints regarding his next destination, Metro has suggested that the player will likely sign for United.

Should a deal be finalised, the Premier League outfit will have to pay Barcelona a compensation fee in the region of £200,000.
