Against Galatasaray, Forson was the man of the match as he played the entire game, scoring twice and assisting once, he played a vital part in all three of United’s goals.

Via SofaScore, Forson had 56 touches with which he boasted a 97 per cent pass accuracy making two key passes in the process.

He also won eight duels and made three tackles in what was a really solid win for United’s under 19’s.

Does he deserve a call-up?
