Man United play Brighton this weekend and young striker Evan Ferguson is fighting a race against time to be available.
If you somehow hadn't noticed, traditional strikers are back in fashion after spending a few years in the football wilderness.
He played just over 20 minutes against Arsenal at the Emirates before the international break, but he made more of an impact in that appearance than Anthony Martial and he must start against Brighton, provided he's deemed fit enough. When Ferguson was asked for his football idol growing up earlier this year, he said: "I think I would’ve said Wayne Rooney. I used to watch him and I used to support United as a kid. I thought he was just unbelievable."
The South Coast club seem to impressively sell their stars for mouthwatering profits before merely replacing them with equally as talented players for pennies and Ferguson already feels bound to be the next big export. The Irish have made it clear Ferguson is their own and that is reciprocated by the player, without mentioning that, more importantly, he can't actually play for the Three Lions after already making three competitive international appearances.
Hojlund will be the only striker at the club next year. Marcus Rashford is not as effective down the middle and Anthony Martial's contract expires at the end of this season, so another player in that position will be needed.
