Manchester United news: Club 'closing in on signing Lyon starlet Florent Da Silva'

Manchester United are in 'advanced negotiations' to bring in Lyon starlet Florent Da Silva this summer.

A report in L'Equipe reveals that the teenage midfielder has caught the eye of those at Old Trafford and given he is out of contract next summer, United are said to be looking to make their move.

Da Silva, 16, competed with Lyon's reserves last season in the fourth tier of French football but he has also caught the eye on occasion when training with the first team at the club.
