Manchester united U-23 striker in demand

      England are in a tug-of-war with France and Ivory Coast to secure the international services of Manchester United's 18-year-old centre-forward Joshua Bohui.

Bohui has enjoyed rave reviews for both United's U18, for whom he has scored nine goals in 22 games, and U23 squads since joining from Brentford on a three-year contract in August last year.

The pacy attacker represented England at U17 level last year, but is yet to commit his international future to the Three Lions.Bohui was born in London and his mother is English whilst his father is Ivorian. The Ivory Coast are particularly interested after their recent success in convincing Wilfred Zaha to represent them at the 2017 African Cup of Nations despite him having played for England at various levels.It is understood that the governing bodies of both France and Ivory Coast have contacted the player's representatives in the hope of securing his allegiance.
