Manchester United close in on French starlets

Manchester United are close to finalizing deals that would bring French teenagers, Jeremy Helen and Darnel Situ to Old Trafford.

SkySports reckons that Jeremy Helen, a 15 year old left back who plays for Rennes, is one of the most sought after young talents in football. And Sir Alex Ferguson seems to have won the race for his signature after Helen’s agent reported that although nothing has been decided as of yet, she believes that ‘Manchester United offers the best career path” for her son.

The other French teenager who is close to moving to Old Trafford in Darnel Situ, captain of the French U16 national team. The 16 year old is currently contracted to RC Lens, but that may not be the case for long.
