This young star might be headed to Manchester

Manchester United have struggled in the market in the past few years, and one area they need to improve on is the recruitment of young talent to the club. United have become a club where talent goes to die according to other fans as United have brought some of football’s biggest young stars, but they could not succeed. This is the same club that once upon a time bought the best young players and made them stars. The same club that in back-to-back years struck gold in the market with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. That club is gone.

Some of the young talent to arrive at the club in recent years, is the likes of Jadon Sancho, Memphis Depay, Anthony Martial, and Paul Pogba. All four players were touted to have great careers upon arriving at Manchester United yet could only say two succeeded at the football club. United have also been rejected by multiple players in the past that have gone on to do successful things such as Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland. Both players were close to coming to United and who knows what their careers would look like if they joined the Red Devils.

And speaking of Jude Bellingham, the club may now have a second chance but not at Jude, but the next “Jude” in Swedish teenage sensation Lucas Bergvall. The 17-year-old is shining for Swedish club Djurgadens and is expected to make his big move to Europe’s top five leagues. Funnily enough, United had already seen Lucas firsthand as a couple years ago he underwent a trial at the football club. Whether he was impressive or not, United were unable to scout him. But second chances exist and United could have a strong one now.

It will not be easy for United, as there are other big clubs linked with the teenager including Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.

What club is Lucas leaning towards

Bad news for the Red Devils as according to Fabrizio Romano and Matte Moretto the Spanish giants are in the lead for the teenager and his priority is Barcelona.
