United are keen to snap up the best young talent in Britain and have scoured academies for possible new recruits.
Ridgeon and Noubissie are among the most sought-after in the country, with a number of clubs chasing their signatures.
Attacking midfielder Ridgeon, 16, is currently with Fulham but is attracting interest from United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Fulham are desperate to keep him, but The Athletic report that United's impressive offer makes them his most likely destination.
Noubissie, a six-four-two midfielder who cost £1million two years ago, has decided to leave City after struggling to find playing opportunities. He holds a French passport through his father, which has attracted the likes of Chelsea sister club Strasbourg.
Both players have been given tours of both Old Trafford and the club's Carrington training complex, during which they met first-team manager Ruben Amorim.

Real Madrid Star still top of Arsenal wishlist as transfer plans accelerate
Rodrygo Remains Arsenal's Dream Target Amid Transfer Frenzy Arsenal's Transfer Drive Intensifies Arsenal are not slowing down. After three consecutive seasons finishing second in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta is pushing hard for the final piece of the puzzle. According to Fabrizio Romano in his latest GIVEMESPORT newsletter, the Gunners are still interested in signing Real Madrid star Rodrygo this summer, even after agreeing a £52 million deal with Chelsea for Noni Madueke. Advertisement The North London club have already added Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard to their squad, signalling a clear intent to challenge for the title again. But the glaring need remains up top, especially in wide and forward positions. Photo IMAGO Focus Shifts to Attacking Reinforcements Romano reported that 'advanced talks [are] ongoing for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres,' while also revealing interest in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who is being lined up 'to play out wide or as an advanced midfielder.' While those names are notable, the excitement centres around Rodrygo. The Brazilian remains Arsenal's dream addition. Romano clarified, 'At the moment, it's not the same conversation. But I'm only aware of concrete talks for Madueke recently, which is a done deal now. There are no official talks for Rodrygo yet.' Advertisement Rodrygo Awaits Madrid Clarity Rodrygo is reportedly 'prioritising a move to the Premier League should he leave the Bernabeu this summer,' but he's waiting on a meeting with Real Madrid bosses and new manager Xabi Alonso to understand his role for the upcoming campaign. Should Los Blancos choose to cash in, Arsenal are expected to act fast. The club 'will remain attentive to his situation and should a move become a reality, then he could well be subject to offers from the Emirates Stadium.' Madueke Signed, But Door Remains Open The signing of Madueke offers Arteta options, but it hasn't closed the door on further additions. With the club's recruitment drive still in full swing and aspirations sky high, Rodrygo could be the marquee name Arsenal fans have been craving. Advertisement Our View – EPL Index Analysis This is the kind of transfer rumour that gets your heart racing. Rodrygo is pure quality. His pace, directness and pedigree from playing with Real Madrid would take our frontline to a different level. Signing Madueke is great, don't get me wrong, but adding Rodrygo would send a message to City, Liverpool and the rest that Arsenal mean business. There's always concern about whether Real Madrid would actually let him go, especially with Mbappe arriving, but if Xabi Alonso can't guarantee him regular minutes, then we should be the first on the phone. Eze would be a clever pick-up, versatile and homegrown, but Rodrygo's ceiling is higher. If Edu and Arteta pull this one off, we're looking at the most complete attack in the league. Yes, £52 million for Madueke might raise eyebrows, but if we land Rodrygo too, this window becomes transformational. Please, no more near-misses. Finish the job, Arsenal.
