MU is in the process of negotiating to recruit two 16 -year -old midfielders is considered to be the top young talents in the UK.
Seth Ridgeon, U17 captain, and Tyrese Nobissie, a player who is about to part with Man City, is considering the offer from MU.
These moves were led by the head of the MU academy recruitment department, Luke Fedorenko, and the director of Nick Cox Academy. This is part of the effort to restart the strategy to recruit the best young talents at English Football Academic institutes.
Ridgeon, the attacking midfielder who was wearing Fulham, has attracted attention from Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool, but MU is said to be leading the race if he left Fulham. Fulham is currently trying to keep this young player, but the Red Devils have made a very attractive offer.
As for Noubissie, he is expected to leave Man City this summer because he does not have many opportunities to play. MU is one of the clubs competing to win his signature.
Both players were invited to visit the facilities at Old Trafford and Carrington Training Center, with Fedorenko and Cox leading the discussions, besides the head of the Travis Binnion development and training.
Sports director Jason Wilcox also participated in this process, while the head coach Ruben Amorim was also present in a short period of time.
Noubissie moved to Man City from Leicester in 2023 with a fee that is said to be about £ 1 million. Although the deal took place after Wilcox left Man City Academy to switch to Southampton, he still knew the talent of this player.
Ridgeon now has a match for the U21 Fulham team. His father, Jon Ridgeon, once represented the United Kingdom to attend two Olympics and won the Silver Medal at the 1987 World Championship.
Noubissie is 1m88 tall, a midfielder that can play at No. 6 or 8. He owns both the British and French passports, born in Scotland in a family with a father Patrick – who is from Paris and has also pursued a professional player career.
The European relationship also made Noubissie the pursuit of clubs in the old continent, which was allowed to sign a contract with him. RB Leipzig and Strasbourg are trying to persuade Nobissie to join, and the current situation is still described as open to the parties.
