Boca at senior level, but is still waiting for his first goal.<\/p>\n<p>The diminutive midfielder has also become a regular for Argentina\u2019s Under-20s, with United now seemingly attracted by his potential.<\/p>\n<p>Delgado would be one for the future, rather than an immediate-impact player for Ruben Amorim, but there could be familiar competition for the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/derechadiario.com.ar\/us\/argentina\/boca-received-an-offer-from-a-european-club-for-milton-delgado-but-rejected-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">La Derecha Diario<\/a> in Argentina report that Besiktas have made an offer of around \u20ac4.8million with an extra \u20ac1million in add-ons.<\/p>\n<p>That takes the total proposal to around \u00a35million, with Besiktas boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer attempting to swoop in ahead of United.<\/p>\n<p>Boca have rejected the offer, though, and it\u2019s unclear whether Besiktas will make a new offer for the Argentinian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking for Milton Delgado to aid Besiktas hopes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>United will be well aware of rival interest in Delgado and may be tempted to firm up the interest before Besiktas potentially make another move.<\/p>\n<p>Solskjaer has enjoyed a strong start as Besiktas boss, recording 12 wins, four draws and six defeats in his 22 games.<\/p>\n<p>Besiktas only finished fourth in the Super Lig table last season, though, and ended up 33 points adrift of champions Galatasaray.<\/p>\n<p>Solskjaer needs major signings to bridge that gap, and has already landed striker Tammy Abraham from Roma.<\/p>\n<p>Delgado may now be viewed as another player who can help take Solskjaer and Besiktas forward, but United may have something to say in this transfer race.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are interested in Boca Juniors talent Milton Delgado, but may end up having to battle
