Incoming Man Utd chief Ratcliffe targets Swedish whiz Roony

Incoming Manchester United director Sir Jim Ratcliffe has joined the scramble for FC Copenhagen whizkid Roony Bardghji.

The Swede, 17, hit the winner against United in the Champions League in midweek.

Chelsea, Newcastle and Crystal Palace are all keen on Bardghji, with the Blues particularly keen.

However, The Sun says Ratcliffe's Nice want to take Bardghji to France in 2024.

Such a move would open the door to a long-term move to United for the teen, who has been tracked by the Premier League giants since he was coming through the Swedish youth system.
