Barcelona are reportedly keeping tabs on Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj.

His agent said this week that the 18-year-old was set to sign a new deal at Old Trafford, but that won't put Barca off.

According to the Daily Star, the Catalan club wanted to sign the midfielder two years ago from Anderlecht but lost out to United.

Now they are ready to try again for the youngster, who was named United's reserve player of the year before earning a place on the substitutes' bench for the last game of the season.

United lost highly-rated youngsters Paul Pogba and Zeki Fryers at the start of the season and also let Ravel Morrison leave the club after a number of off-field issues.

It is thought that they are determined to keep Januzaj for the foreseeable future.
