Evan Ferguson is out to prove a point after sealing a seasonal loan movement to Roma from Brighton, with Manchester United under the clubs that have previously been linked to the striker
Evan Ferguson gave Manchester United a glimpse of what they missed when he scored four goals during his Roma debut. The Ireland International has been on the Radar of United since he appeared on stage with Brighton with Brighton with Brighton.
At one point a substantial price tag of £ 100 million was attached to him, although there were no indications that United was willing to increase such an amount for the young person. Last summer it was rumor that United pushed a £ 50 million for Ferguson, reportedly also interested with Chelsea.
However, a move to Old Trafford has never been released and the career of Ferguson became a rough patch last season due to a lack of goals and persistent injuries. The 20-year-old announced the second half of the campaign in West Ham after he found opportunities that were hard to find in Brighton, but only managed to start one race for the Hammers.
He is now looking to start his career at Roma after he has arrived at the Serie A Club on a seasonal loan, a deal with a £ 32 million right-wing-buy option.
Ferguson, World Cup winning striker Paulo Dybala. United is looking for a new striker this summer, but left their striving for him at the beginning of the year, which may come back to bite them if his debut performance is something.
Ferguson will return to England next month, with Roma who plays friendly matches against Aston Villa and Everton before they started their Serie A campaign against Bologna against Bologna on 23 August.
United's interest in Ferguson will have decreased after his hard campaign 2024/25. With young Spitsen Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, both struggling, Ruben Amorim desperately required established Premier League attackers, which led to the summer arrangements of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to tackle those needs.
Nevertheless, an impressive spell in the Serie A Ferguson could refund in the minds of the Elite clubs of England. After confirming his Roma loan switch, Brighton -Baas Fabian Hurzeler explained: “Evan had a challenging period in the last one and a half season and it is a disturbed by Knobbels, which has not allowed him games.
“He is over those injuries and has come back in excellent condition. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting chance in a strong competition and with the prospect of European football.”
