Three youngsters Manchester United should buy

Gerard Deulofeu

Every top class club has it’s own youth ‘factory‘, however not all of them are as good as FC Barcelona’s famous La Masia. That’s when scouts play their role – searching and trying to steal the best talents from other football academies.

Manchester United’s new wonder kid is winger Adnan Januzaj who scored twice as United came from behind to claim a 2–1 victory over Sunderland back in October. Nevertheless the Red Devils should look for more starlets who would succeed at the Old Trafford in the future. Here are the chosen three youngsters which the club should have a look into:

Gerard Deulofeu | FC Barcelona / FC Barcelona B

Deulofeu is one of La Masia’s huge products from the last few years and is considered as future Lionel Messi in Barcelona. However the 19-year-old winger could find it difficult to make the first squad, as Tata Martino has various other forwards to choose from when selecting the lineup, including stars like Pedro, Alexis Sanchez, Cristian Tello or Neymar Jr.

That is why he has been loaned out to Everton until this season’s end in search of regular game time. According to transfermarket.co.uk the Spaniard’s current market value is £13 million. Deulofeu has already capped in Spain’s U-21 national team and is know for his acceleration, ball control and eye for goal.

Viktor Fischer | Ajax Amsterdam

Viktor Fischer

The Dutch left winger, actually playing for Ajax has already snubbed Manchester United once, after the U-17 World Cup, when he decided to play in the Eredivisie. He is compared with Tottenham’s, ex-Ajax Christian Eriksen and is said to be the jewel in the crown in the club’s academy.

Fischer, 19, is valued at £6.2 million and would be a good purchase for any club in Europe because of his intelligence in front of goal and finishing skills. The forward also starred in the NextGen Series, the Champions League equivalent for under-20 youth squads, leading Ajax to the final and sharing the top scorer of the tournament award with Barcelona’s Jean Marie Dongou who is also a big prodigy.

Bruma | Galatasaray

Named the new Cristiano Ronaldo after outstanding performances in the Portugal’s national youth team at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey. Eventually, Armindo Tué Na Bangna, decided to leave Sporting Lisbon for Galatarasay, signing a five-year deal last summer.

The Portuguese forward’s main assets are not only speed and dribbling, but also great finishing skills. The Red Devils should try to capture the 19-year-old forward, as a move to the Turkish Super Lig doesn’t guarantee a bright future.

Bruma has shown he is an amazing player in international games, however if he wants to succeed he must move to a club like Manchester United.
