Manchester United keep tabs on Argentine youngster Enzo Diaz who admits it is his ‘dream’ to play at Old Trafford

MANCHESTER United are on the trail of Argentine rising star Enzo Diaz.

The left-back, 20, inspired his modest club Agropecuario to reach the second division in May for the first time in their history.

And Old Trafford scouts checked on the defender in his side's 2-0 win over Aldosivi last Saturday that sent them two points clear at the top.

Diaz told Argentine radio: "Two representatives from Manchester United came to watch me.  I've not yet heard back from them.

"But it is any footballer's dream to play for United.  I spoke with their representatives, and the truth is they were delighted with me.

"They said they would come to watch me in a couple more games."

Agropecuario are based in Carlos Casares, near capital Buenos Aires.

Diaz, 21 on December 7, was born in the town.

He could now become the latest Argentine player to move to Old Trafford, where he would team up with Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero.

Countrymen Carlos Tevez, Angel Di Maria, Juan Sebastian Veron and Gabriel Heinze have all played for United in the recent past.
