The virtual world of football in FIFA 14 was full of promising talents, whose potential was etched into the game system. Among them were seven Manchester United prodigies who were touted to enlighten the world. Today, we trace the trajectories of these once-promising talents, assessing their journey from digital potential to real-world performance.

Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would have an offer to leave Manchester United

Brazilian attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira has found his stride at Fulham, leaving behind a mediocre spell at Old Trafford. The Fulham playmaker has been instrumental in the club's campaign, contributing to 19 goals this season and proving that talent can flourish late. Adnan Januzaj, once considered the next Wayne Rooney, has failed to live up to the lofty expectations of him at United. However, the journey did not end there. Since then, he has made a name for himself at Sevilla, showcasing his skill and fame in the Spanish League.

Once a promising prospect, Jesse Lingard finds himself without a club following his departure from Nottingham Forest. The future remains uncertain for Lingard, in stark contrast to his promising beginnings. Angelo Henríquez, brought to Manchester United by Alex Ferguson, now plies his trade in Russia for Baltika Kaliningrad. His journeyman career is a testament to the unpredictability of football.

Nick Powell, whose potential was cut short by injuries, has fought his way through adversity. With over 200 appearances for Wigan Athletic and Stoke City, Powell is currently demonstrating his experience and skills with Stockport County. Wilfried Zaha, who had a brief and disappointing tenure at United, found form at Crystal Palace. His recent move to Galatasaray has been marked by an inconsistent season, a reminder of the capricious nature of football.

They stayed in promises

Finally, James Wilson, who electrified Old Trafford with a brace on his debut, is now targeting Port Vale in League One. With four goals to his name this season, Wilson continues to highlight the value of perseverance in football. In retrospect, the journeys of these seven players serve as a powerful reminder of the unpredictability of football. Promises of potential, as shown in FIFA 14, rarely follow a straight path. Yet these narratives of struggle and success continue to inspire us and remind us that every player's journey is a story worth telling.
