According to Le Parisien, if Man United sign the striker, he will be loaned out to Lausanne in Switzerland, a club owned by Ineos, who also own Man United for one season.
He will get some game time with the senior side before returning to Old Trafford.
Who is Enzo Kana-Biyik?
Kana-Biyik was born in France and holds the country's citizenship, but has Cameroonian roots through his father, who played for the Indomitable Lions.
His father, Andre Kana-Biyik, played for Le Havre in the 1990s and represented Cameroon at the 1990 World Cup. They took down Diego Maradona's Argentina in the tournament.
Enzo has made 14 appearances for Le Havre's under-19 side and scored nine goals, per 90min. The teenager could be seen as a long-term solution to their striker's problem.

What are Man United's transfer plans?
New signings Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled to provide the goals for the Red Devils, who are having their worst-ever Premier League campaign.
It is unclear what will happen to 17-year-old Chido Obi, who recently joined the club from Arsenal.
Moreover, the club has been linked with a swap deal involving Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins and Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
"I just want to focus on our strengths and bring one or two players, big players," Man United boss Ruben Amorim told reporters.
"We need to focus, we are doing all the stuff to be next season so much better. In my idea, I cannot manage this thing of ‘in four years we will try something’. We need to be so much better. This is a massive club."
Man United have scored just 38 goals in the Premier League this season, and they're looking to improve their attack.
Man United eyeing Wolves star
In a related report, Man United are in talks to sign Wolves and Brazil forward Matheus Cunha.
The former Atletico Madrid star has been brilliant this season with 16 goals in 31 games for Wolves.
He signed a new deal in January but has expressed his desire to leave the club in the summer transfer window.
