Euro giants fear pacey forward has agreed to sign for Man United despite thinking they had the deal wrapped up

It's one of the most crucial things to remember during a transfer window: anything may happen until you see a team proclaim a player on social media lifting the scarf above their head.

This looks to be the case for Ajax in their pursuit of FC Nordsjaelland forward Kamladeen Sulemana.

He's only 19, but he scored 10 goals and added eight assists last season, and he's a quick forward who prefers to play on the left flank so he can cut inside and wreak havoc with his speed and right foot.

According to Soccer News NL, Ajax believed the deal was done and dusted, and they even brought him in for meetings where the contract was expected to be signed.

It's been suggested that there are major concerns that he'll sign for Man United, and there are parallels to when they thought they'd signed Richarlison before he unexpectedly appeared as a Watford signing.

It could simply be a case of the player and his agent taking their time to make a choice, but Man United fans will be keeping an eye on this scenario in the coming days.
