When Sir Jim Ratcliffe took over as United boss for the sporting part of the store, the priorities going forward were clear. In contrast to the signing strategy of bringing in established stars, at what has proven to be greatly overpriced, Manchester United were now supposed to bring in the right, young, promising players – who then develop into stars. There was also an element of significant sales income on players the club did not need. For Ratcfliffe and United, it is therefore very important that one of the academy’s great centre-back talents keeps his focus in only one place.
Manchester United. 16-year-old Jayden Ngwashi has already made his debut for both United’s U18 and U21 teams, a bunch of clubs have positioned themselves to persuade the teenager to leave United when it’s time for a professional contract. The Manchester Evening News reported in May that there are several top European clubs on the door to secure the talented centre-back.

Now transfer journalist Romano reports the clubs can return home, Ngwashi signs a new contract with Manchester United.
A very important extension for the club, it is also a good sign that the young talents are not intimidated by last season’s horrendous Premier League season, but rather triggered to help lift the club. 17-year-old Obi-Martin showed last season and in the games in Asia right after the end of the season that Ruben Amorim is not afraid to give young players their chance – and chances.
