Manchester United are always on the lookout for exceptional young talent. Recent signings In Ineos’ first year in charge at the club, they signed players such as Chido Obi, Ayden Heaven and Diego Leon. Cristian Orozco from Colombia was also snapped up and will join the squad this summer. Sekou Kone is another young talent who was brought in, but his development has been cruelly delayed this season by various injuries. Kingsford Boakye According to Sports World Ghana, United have their eye on another young academy prospect. They report that, “Kingsford Boakye-Yiadom is drawing significant attention from across Europe after parting ways with Everton’s academy, with several top clubs monitoring his next move.” The news outlet continues to explain that, “the 21-year-old winger has emerged as a sought-after talent, with interest reportedly coming from Manchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Atlético Madrid, RB Leipzig, AS Monaco, Feyenoord and Genoa.” The youngster, who has already impressed at youth level in England, is known for his “explosive pace, close control, and ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations.” As a result, he has already been compared to former Premier League stars Eden Hazard and Leroy Sané. He has played 21 matches this season for the youth teams, scoring three goals and providing three assists. His name shot to prominence at the club when he scored the team’s first goal from open play at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium for the youth team. The electric winger has also represented Ghana at U17 and U20 level and won the AFCON title at under-20 level. The news outlet suggests that Everton were ready to promote him to the senior side, but a change of representation has helped convince him that a move away from the Toffees will be the best decision for his future progress.
