Manchester United is apparently more interested in Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney than their fierce rivals Manchester City, making them one of the Premier League’s biggest teams.
After completing his 25% takeover at Old Trafford, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will assign his new recruitment staff the responsibility of bringing in the top domestic players from within English football, according to a report published in the Daily Mail at the end of November.
Therefore, don’t be shocked if Manchester United prioritises players lower on the football pyramid in addition to players like Ivan Toney, Marc Guehi, and Jarrad Branthwaite in upcoming windows.
The Mail has added a new name to Ratcliffe’s frame, which is centred on Britain. Hayden Hackney’s one.
Manchester United in the race for Hayden Hackney
All six of the traditional Premier League clubs have sent scouts to the Riverside, although as of right now, Manchester United is said to be more interested than their blue-clad rivals.
Hackney, who has earned caps for England’s Under-21 team, is possibly the most complete young midfield player outside of the premier league, though Adam Wharton of Blackburn Rovers is a strong contender for that title.
The local boy, who was born in Redcar, is currently Middlesbrough’s Young Player of the Year. And Hackney is improving under the guidance of the United legend and best playmaker of the twenty-first century, Michael Carrick, who is a fixture on the Boro touchline.
Fans like Michael Carrick a lot.
He exudes a genuine confidence in his own abilities while remaining completely humble. Carrick, who played for Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2008 Champions League winning team, tells Teesside Live, “I just really love the way he goes about his business.”
“Despite his quiet demeanour, he exudes a genuine steeliness.” He constantly wants to take the ball, possess the ball, and cause things to happen.
“We were unable to ask for anything more of him at this time.”
Alan Nixon of The Sun claims that Hackney is valued at approximately £10 million by Middlesbrough. That cost, meanwhile, ought to skyrocket in the event that England’s wealthiest teams engage in a bidding battle.
Meanwhile, The Mail thinks that a summer exit is more plausible than one in January at this time.
