MANCHESTER UNITED have received a transfer boost with Barcelona plotting to sell Ansu Fati, according to reports.
The wonderkid has been on the radar of several Premier League clubs since breaking through at the Nou Camp.
He has mostly featured as a substitute for Xavi’s side this term but has contributed seven goals and three assists in all competitions.
However Barcelona’s dire financial situation means they could be forced to sell one or two prized assets this summer.
And Fati could be sold for a big fee according to Sport.
The report claims Barca would rather keep ex-Premier League stars Ferran Torres and Rapinha, and sell Fati instead.

But it is believed Barcelona would rather sell a player they paid no money for, such as Franck Kessie or Andreas Christensen, both of whom arrived on a free last summer.
Fati could also be included since he is an academy graduate.
United could look to pounce this summer with the 20-year-old reportedly offered to several European clubs by his agent Jorge Mendes.
Fati was even urged to quit Barcelona by his father, who believes he is not getting enough game time to progress his career.

And the pair have reportedly been in contact with the forward’s representatives, along with United.
