Boca Juniors expect Man Utd to make an offer for Aaron Anselmino to rival fellow Premier League side Chelsea, according to reports.
There are set to be big changes at Old Trafford this summer after Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed a deal to buy 27.7 per cent of the Premier League club from the Glazers.
Ratcliffe has already made it clear that he wants to buy younger players this summer with a report claiming that the new co-owner has come up with a rule that the Red Devils can only sign players under the age of 25.
When asked about the chances of Man Utd buying Kylian Mbappe who has since completed a move to Real Madrid in March, Ratcliffe said: What I would rather do, I would rather find the next Mbappe, rather than spend a fortune to just try and buy success.
It’s not that clever, is it? Buying Mbappe. In a way. Anyone could figure that one out. But what is much more challenging is to find the next Mbappe or the next [Jude] Bellingham or the next Roy Keane.
Jude Bellingham was suggested as a possible signing, to which Ratcliffe replied: He’s a great footballer [but] it’s not where our focus is.

The solution isn’t spending a lot of money on a couple of great players. They’ve done that, if you look at the last 10 years.
The first thing we need to do is get the right people in the right boxes, managing and organising the club.
We must make sure we get recruitment right, such a vital part of running a football club is getting recruitment right, finding new players.
And Argentinian wonderkid Anselmino fits the Red Devils transfer policy this summer that there is a concrete chance Man Utd attempt to hijack Chelsea s attempts to sign the 19-year-old.
It is understood that Boca expect an offer for Anselmino from Man Utd after Chelsea made an offer that seems irresistible but that the Argentinian side will look to wait and see on the Red Devils action before making a decision.
