Highly-rated FC Basel teenager Breel Embolo is the latest target for Manchester United.

The 19-year-old, who is part of Switzerland’s Euro 2016 squad, has emerged as a prime target for Jose Mourinho.

German publication Bild is reporting that the Red Devils have offered a mouth-watering £28million for the young winger, according to The Sport Review.

Embolo netted 10 times in 26 league appearances for Basel last season as they romped to the Super League title, finishing 14 points ahead of second-placed BSC Young Boys.

The winger has appeared as a substitute in both of Switzerland’s Euro 2016 fixtures so far, completing 54 minutes for Vladimir Petkovic’s side who will make the last 16 of the competition after gaining four points from their opening two Group A games.
