French wonderkid Noam Emeran has turned down Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona in the favour of moving to Manchester United.
Manchester United have the habit of nurturing young talents. The English outfit have produced the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, and Chris Smalling in the last decade. They have gone onto establish themselves as pivotal players in the first team by winning trophies with their home club.
It did not stop there as the Red Devils have a set of young players coming through their ranks and are touted as the next best superstars. Tahith Chong has already made his first-team appearance, whereas the likes of Mason Greenwood and Angel Gomes are tipped to break into the first team sooner.
French wonderkid Noam Emeran has added to the list of youth prospects coming through the academy. The 16-year-old is the only signing for Manchester United in the January transfer window after failing to strike deals with anybody else.
After intensive scouting, they have been able to land this prodigy in a three and a half year deal. The 16-year-old arrives with a big reputation in French youth football, having already taken up the number 7 for the reserves side.
The forward’s traits can be compared to Manchester City’s Leroy Sane who has ultimate pace and trickery to go past defenders with ease. Moving from Amiens, Emeran is expected to be stored in the Manchester United academy with the ambition of breaking into the first team soon.
The report adds on that the French International has rejected offers from Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus in order to move to Manchester United. This comes as no surprise as the Red Devils have one of the best youth setups in Europe.
After signing for the club, Emeran wrote on Instagram,
“Happy and proud to announce my signature in this great club and big Family which is at Manchester United.
“A big thank you to my parents, to Badou my lawyer, my loved ones and the coaches (from Sannois, Amiens and INF) who have made me grow up to this day.
“This is the beginning of a new and great adventure if God wants it.”
After moving to Manchester United, he cited Leroy Sane, Neymar, and Anthony Martial as his role models.
Emeran was provided with a framed iconic number 7 shirt which has been worn by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and George Best. Fans will be keeping an eye on Emeran as they are keen to witness another young prodigy coming through their ranks.
