Manchester United in race to sign Ty Livesey

15-year-old Blackburn Rovers wonderkid Ty Livesey is among the most impressive young talents in English football right now.

According to The Sun, he is now the subject of a transfer race between several Premier League clubs, with United among those showing an interest.

Interest in Livesey comes as he registered 125 goal contributions over a single season in the academy for Blackburn. This earned him his U18 debut at the age of just 14.

Livesey made five appearances for the U18 side last season, scoring and assisting in just 294 minutes of action.

Who is Ty Livesey?

Livesey is currently playing his football within the Blackburn academy across multiple age groups at the age of 15.

But he was born in Salford, meaning a move back toward Manchester would likely be an easy transition for the talented forward.

Having made his Blackburn U18 debut at 14, Livesey is matching JJ Gabriel in some ways, while Gabriel’s numbers for the U18s, even at 14, put him on a completely different level.

United are said to be leading the race, but effectively all the big clubs in the Premier League are keen and are set to try and make the move themselves.

Livesey would likely settle into the United U18 side, competing with the likes of Kai Rooney for minutes and starts.

United are trying to assemble an Avengers-level U18 squad after the hurt of losing the FA Youth Cup final.
