Adam Ounas follows Manchester United and players on social media after Red Devils interest in teen star
Bordeaux midfielder has been linked with Red Devils switch this summer as Jose Mourinho targets more reinforcements
ADAM OUNAS has seemingly indicated he could end up signing for Manchester United after following the club on social media.
The Bordeaux midfielder, capable of playing behind the striker or out wide, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
New boss Jose Mourinho is planning to sign a number of top players after spending £30million on Villarreal’s Eric Bailly, and reportedly wants Ounas to join his Red Devils revolution.
The 19-year-old is in high demand off the back of a stellar debut season for Bordeaux’s senior side which saw him score five goals in 23 Ligue 1 appearances.
Southampton, Stoke and Napoli are all said to be interested in signing Ounas, but the player appears to have his heart set on the Theatre of Dreams after following United on Twitter.
Ounas is also a prolific Instagram user and has connected with stars including Wayne Rooney, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford too.

It could now mean that a move to United will follow at some point during the transfer window, but whether the Premier League giants actually make a move remains to be seen.
Ounas isn’t the only player reportedly on The Special One’s radar, with Barcelona’s Neymar of interest to the Portuguese tactician.
Paul Pogba is also a target, although Juventus are demanding a world-record £125million fee, while a raid on former club Chelsea for full-back Cesar Azpilicueta in a cut-price deal has been mentioned in Spanish newspapers.
But one of Mourinho’s first moves will be to tie Wayne Rooney down to a fresh contract.
The Red Devils skipper is set to be deployed in central midfield next season after impressing there for England at Euro 2016, and Mourinho wants him to finish him career at the club.
Injury-prone centre-back Phil Jones is also set for a reprieve, with Mourinho telling the versatile player he can become United’s version of Stamford Bridge icon John Terry.
