5 players who should leave Manchester United to progress in their careers

#4 Axel Tuanzebe

Swansea City v Manchester United - Carabao Cup Fourth Round

Manchester United’s youth academy has been a breeding ground for talented young footballers over the years.

The youth department at Old Trafford has been applauded over the years for churning out youngsters who have the ability to take the world by storm. From David Beckham to Marcus Rashford, the club’s academy has been spot on at tapping young talents.

One of the latest stars emerging out of the academy is a young defender named Axel Tuanzebe. The young lad has been regularly involved with first-team activities and features in matchday squads too.

However, he is yet to start or play in a Premier League or a UEFA Champions League encounter yet. Tuanzebe can play as a central defender and can switch to the fullback position too.

He has been a star for the reserve teams as his peers rate him very highly. Tuanzebe possesses good pace and has a great sense of positional awareness. He can be an imposing figure in the box and is always willing to hound upon the forwards to deny them clear opportunities on goal.

On top of all these things, Tuanzebe is just 20-years-old. At this age, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have already become regulars for the first team. Manchester United have around five centre-halves vying for the starting spot, so regular playing time looks a distant dream for Tuanzebe.

The youngster has risen through the ranks from United’s academy, so it looks unlikely that he will leave the club completely. However, a loan move will do him more good than harm. He will be guaranteed ninety minutes of football each weekend and this will give the manager a good glimpse of his talents on the field.
