Tufan has been compared to French midfielder Paul Pogba by Arveladze but can also play in defence.
Arveladze told Haber61: "Ozan Tufan could join Manchester United within a short space of time.
"This is not an exaggeration because I know a number of European football's biggest clubs are keeping close tabs on him.
"Currently I liken him to Pogba from Juventus.
