Brighton’s talented youngster Evan Ferguson breaks Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney’s Premier League record
According to Opta Analysts tweet on X, Manchester United target Evan Ferguson matched Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney’s record of scoring 10+ goals as a teenager in the Premier League in a single calendar year.
In Saturday’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, Evan Ferguson showcased his incredible talent by scoring his 11th Premier League goal of 2023. This remarkable achievement puts him on par with the legendary Wayne Rooney, who held the record for 18 years.
However, according to Euro Sport, United would be even more tempted to sign the talented striker after our strikers are consistently failing to display their potential.
It’s clear that Ferguson has a deep understanding of the league, and Ten Hag would undoubtedly be eager to bring him on board. Given the decline in Anthony Martial’s performance for the club, it is imperative to find a suitable replacement for him. This will provide a greater level of depth to the team. The club is clearly struggling with a lack of squad depth.
What is genuinely impressive is that Ferguson has now achieved the same level of achievement as Rooney, who scored a remarkable 11 goals for both Everton and Manchester United as a teenager in a single year.
When examining Manchester City, it is evident that there is a suitable successor for every position. United is in dire need of this. Ferguson and Hojlund had the potential to establish a formidable attacking partnership. Additionally, we have the talented Marcus Rashford, who demonstrated exceptional performance throughout the previous season.
Brighton finally ended their dry spell in the Premier League with a much-needed victory. It had been a long wait since September for a win, but when the referee blew the final whistle, Seagulls boss De Zerbi couldn’t contain his excitement and celebrated with great enthusiasm.
