Swiss star to snub Man United for Schalke 04

Switzerland’s young superstar Breel Embolo is set to join Schalke 04 rather than Premier League side Manchester United, according to Swiss paper Basler Zeitung.

This wouldn’t be the first time that a teenager has snubbed a move to Manchester United to instead go to a Bundesliga team. Last month it was the Portuguese 18-year-old Renato Sanches that decided to sign for Bayern Munich instead of the Red Devils.

Schalke automatically qualified for the Europa League last season, and have recently gotten manager Markus Weinzierl to leave FC Augsburg and join them for the next season. They have already signed Brazilian defender Naldo from Wolfsburg on a free transfer.

Embolo currently plays for Swiss side FC Basel, and has had two great seasons with the team. Overall he has made 61 appearances over three years and has scored 25 goals, earning him a place in Switzerland’s Euro 2016 squad.

No doubt he is one of a few young stars to potentially make moves before the season begins. As mentioned, Sanches has already moved to Bayern Munich, while Borussia Dortmund have picked up Ousmane Dembele.
