Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for Phil Neville’s teenage son.

Harvey Neville is 14 and part of the youth setup at Valencia – the Spanish club at which his father was a coach.

An article by Super Deporte recently praised the youngster, comparing some of his qualities to that of David Beckham – another of United’s Class of 92. 

The report adds that his performances for Valencia’s academy sides have drawn interest from some of the continent’s ‘most powerful clubs’. United are said to be one of them, with the report also adding that Tottenham have been one of the more recent clubs to ask about him.

Harvey moved to Spain when his father joined Valencia’s coaching staff in 2015. Former England international Phil left the club at the same time his brother, Gary, was sacked as their manager. Despite this, Harvey opted to stay on with the club after being rewarded a new contract.

Phil recently shared footage of Harvey on his Instagram page.
