Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority takeover of the Red Devils, the club have focused more efforts into acquiring the best up and coming talents. Over the summer, they won the race for Leny Yoro, 19, and poached scoring sensation Chido Obi-Martin, 16, from Arsenal’s academy. United considered making a bid last summer but that was put on hold when Rigg penned a new three-year contract with his boyhood club. I think it is important for them to be here until the challenge is not high enough for them.
