Man Utd and Chelsea are both battling for Ilaix Moriba after missing out on the Barcelona wonderkid in 2019, reports say.

Moriba is the latest youngster to burst into Ronald Koeman’s team this season.

The 18-year-old has made six appearances in all competitions and scored his first-ever goal in their 2-0 win against Osasuna earlier this month.

But Moriba came close to joining Pep Guardiola at Man City two years ago when doubts emerged over a new Barca deal.

He ended up staying at the Nou Camp, but according to Sport, Chelsea and United are still tracking the midfielder.

So too are Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, with clubs said to have asked ex-Barca club director Eric Abidal to take Moriba on loan in the past.
