The 16-year-old has been described as one of the brightest young talents in Sweden and it was recently reported that he could move to the Premier League.

Both Chelsea and United were monitoring him closely, but the German champions have managed to beat the duo by securing a winter deal for the teenager.

The young striker will spend the rest of the campaign with the club's Under-19 side. He could be loaned out next season before being integrated into the main squad.

The news is a huge blow for the Blues and Red Devils, who are looking at signing emerging talents. United also look set to miss out on Lucas Bergvall .

Kusi-Asare's compatriot is currently looking to chose between Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur. He is likely to make a final decision over his next club soon.

It won't be a surprise if an agreement is confirmed on deadline day.
