Manchester United and Panathinaikos are amongst the clubs chasing Argentine starlet Daniel Villalva, skysports.com understands.

The 17-year-old is already being labelled the next Lionel Messi, and is currently starring in the World Under-17 World Cup.

Villalva rose to prominence some months ago when he became the youngest ever player for River Plate - when he played for the first team aged just 16 years and seven months.

Now clubs are keeping a close eye on Villalva's progress, and Pana and United are known to both be keeping tabs on him.
