"Well-connected sources with a close understanding of Mokio's situation told me: Manchester United are leading the chase for Jorthy Mokio. They are already working on a project that could offer Mokio guaranteed minutes and a clear development path. This certainly looks promising for United, while it's also added that the Belgium international wants out of Ajax due to doubts over the struggling Dutch club's sporting project at the moment."
"MUFC have struggled to recover since Ferguson's retirement and it would be good if they could smarten up their recruitment again to identify the best young players in world football who they can sign on the cheap. Mokio could be one of those, and it seems like things are moving along well, even if this is far from a done deal yet."
Manchester United are leading the pursuit of 17-year-old Ajax prospect Jorthy Mokio, with Tottenham and Newcastle also tracking his development. Chelsea and Liverpool have cooled their interest. United are preparing a plan that would guarantee Mokio playing minutes and provide a clear development pathway. Mokio wants to leave Ajax because of doubts over the Dutch club's current sporting project. United seek to improve recruitment after mixed post-Ferguson transfer results by identifying high-quality young players affordably. Mokio could become a long-term signing similar to recent successful youth acquisitions, though no deal is yet complete.
