Manchester United target carted off after scoring first-ever professional goal

Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino is doing everything he can to impress scouts as he continues to get linked with a summer move to Manchester United.

The interest was initially reported by Bola VIP and the speculation has been ever present since.

The 18-year-old outshone former United striker Edinson Cavani, by scoring the winning goal in their recent outing, but it was a milestone moment for Anselmino as his first-ever professional goal.

It was a classic defender’s goal on the youngster’s ninth appearance for the senior team, after making his Boca Juniors debut last year.

Anselmino found the back of the net with a header at the near post from a set piece.

Reports have suggested that his impressive performances have led to interest from Manchester United and AC Milan.

Speaking about Anselmino’s potential, Boca legend Roman Riquelme told Ole: “He looks bigger. He is going to compete with everyone. He has a huge future, in concentration, he watches football all the time, he has the seriousness of a great person.”

That is rich pair for the youngster and it’s clear to see why he is highly thought of in his homeland.

Sadly, the night ended on a sour note for Anselmino as he suffered an injury at the beginning of the second half.

Ole claims it is a muscle injury which is expected to keep the young defender out of action for up to three weeks.
