The Athletic reported that Manchester United is negotiating to sign two English demon stars.

England U17 captain Seth Riccien (pictured above) and Teres Nubiessi, who is about to leave Manchester United, are considering the invitation from Manchester United. Both are regarded as the best players of the same age in England. The action, led by Manchester United's youth training recruitment director Luke Fedorenko and Academic Director Nick Cox, marks the club's restart of plans to introduce top British youth training talents.

Attacking midfielder Riccion, who is currently playing for Fulham, has attracted the attention of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, but Manchester United is considered to be in the lead. Fulham is trying to keep it, and Manchester United has submitted an attractive plan.

Nubisi is expected to leave Manchester City this summer due to limited play opportunities, and Manchester United is competing with several clubs for the midfield. The two players have been invited to visit Old Trafford and Carrington bases, with Fedorenko, Cox co-led the talks with player development director Travis Binion.

Football Director Jason Wilcox was also involved, and first-team coach Amorin also made a brief appearance. It is worth noting that when Wilcox took over Manchester City's youth training in 2023, he signed Nubiessi from Leicester City for about 1 million pounds.

Rigion has played for Fulham U21, and his father Jon has twice gone to the Olympics. Nubiesi, who is 1.88 meters tall, can be qualified for the No. 6 or No. 8. He was born in Scotland and holds both British and French nationalities. His father Patrick is from Paris and has professional player experience.

Nubiesi's European background makes it the target of continental clubs such as RB Leipzig and Strasbourg, and the transfer situation is still open.
