Manchester United<\/a> are closing in on the signing of Manchester City<\/a> teenager Kasen Brown, the latest report has claimed.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils’ season has been mixed, with performances under Ruben Amorim<\/a> routinely disappointing fans, and it is no surprise that he was sacked.<\/p>\n

Michael Carrick<\/a> was appointed as interim boss in January, and the former United midfielder has guided the club to four wins and one stalemate.<\/p>\n

The team are currently fourth in the Premier League<\/a><\/strong>, and fans are hopeful that the Red Devils can look positively towards the future, especially as the potential return to the Champions League would make them an attractive destination.<\/p>\n

Football Insider<\/a> report that United have held talks with Manchester City prospect Kasen Brown, who is set to be the latest young star to leave the team’s academy.<\/p>\n

Who is Man United target Kasen Brown?<\/p>\n

Having played predominantly as a left-back, Brown has made a name for himself for City’s under-16s side, and he has was also called up to England’s under-16s squad this week.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old has been praised for his technical and physical levels, and he has been able to provide a threat in the final third.<\/p>\n

Why Man United need to focus on getting younger<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> was often outcast by Amorim, but since being trusted by Carrick in the first team, the 20-year-old has managed to excel.<\/p>\n

Though experience is key when trying to win silverware, Mainoo’s form has highlighted the benefit of introducing younger players into the XI.<\/p>\n

Stars such as Luke Shaw<\/a>, Harry Maguire<\/a> and Casemiro<\/a> have served the club well, but the none of the three players are particularly dynamic.<\/p>\n

With an increased emphasis on athleticism in the Premier League, adding more energy to the squad should be seen as a priority, and that could be found by signing more academy prospects and developing them for the first team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Manchester City teenager Kasen Brown, the latest report has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766530,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,4230,393,68644,94,707,2826,4884,2465,22138,7126,101,4151,93,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-766529","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-cycling","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-epl","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-golf","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-manchester","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-olympics","19":"tag-premier-league","20":"tag-rugby","21":"tag-sport","22":"tag-sports-mole","23":"tag-teams","24":"tag-tennis","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116075778959516331","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
