Eze has a chance to join United’s youth ranks at an exciting stage, and as a midfielder, he can see a clear pathway to the first team under Michael Carrick.

Mentored by Fletcher and Carrick, Eze can make huge bounds towards playing senior football at Old Trafford if he makes the move to United this summer.
