The 19-year-old has made 29 appearances for his current club, contributing six goals and two assists, while he has also netted once in four caps for Ecuador.

According to the Daily Record, United have opened talks with the teenager's club over the possibility of a move to Old Trafford at the start of 2021.

The report, though, claims that West Ham United are also interested in signing the midfielder, who is valued by Independiente del Valle at €6m (£5.4m).

As well as the transfer fee, the Ecuadorian club are allegedly keen for the proposed deal to include 20% of any future sale.

Caicedo revealed during a recent television interview that Man United are his favourite club and suggested that he models his game on Red Devils midfielder Paul Pogba.
