Nigeria to battle Spain, England for Manchester United star dubbed the new Lamine Yamal

Manchester United’s teenage sensation Victor Musa is causing a stir both on and off the pitch, and now, Nigeria, Spain, and England are all locked in a fierce tug-of-war for his international future.

The 18-year-old is being hailed as the "Lamine Yamal of Manchester United" after an explosive season in the academy.

Musa has been impressive this season, recently putting six goals past Leeds United in a single game and notching 15 goals in just 18 matches.

Born in Navarre, Spain, the left-footed , pacey attacker with an eye for goal is becoming one of the brightest prospects at Old Trafford.

Spanish outlet AS praised his quality in a recent publication, and compared him to Lamine Yamal, describing him as a player who “appears in all areas of attack.”

Altough Manchester United are taking a cautious approach to his development, the departure of first-team players like Antony or Garnacho could open the door for Musa sooner than expected.

Internationally, Musa is a prized asset. He has already represented both Spain and England at youth level, while Nigeria, through his parents, remains a strong contender to secure his services.

The Spanish Football Federation is eager to avoid past mistakes after losing talents like Inaki Williams and Achraf Hakimi to other nations, and they have ramped up efforts to secure dual-national players early.

Nigeria, meanwhile, has a history of successfully luring European-born stars to represent them, with players like Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina, and Ademola Lookman all choosing the Super Eagles over other possible countries.

With three nations circling and Musa’s stock rising rapidly, the renowned talent is spoilt for choice, but must be careful in his final decision.
