Premier League rival wants to adopt the Chelsea way of signing young talents

Manchester United considering changing their approach in the transfer window in the hope of competing with Chelsea for signing young talents

Manchester United are set to compete with Chelsea and Manchester City for the scouting of young players, as the club feels they are way behind in locating highly-rated youngsters.

According to the Sun, (h/t Mirror) United have enlisted LA firm Pace to find an ’emerging talent scout’ with ambitions of challenging the Blues and City when it comes to finding young talents.

This occurred after the club began to worry that the board was significantly behind track in the transfer window. The goal of developing a free-flowing transfer system to identify young players with talent is in the works. Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s agreement to become a minority shareholder in the club demonstrated this.

After club CEO Richard Arnold announced his intention to depart the Red Devils after the season, things have already started to quiver. It makes it very evident that the club wants to prioritise signing quality players during the transfer window.

The same was done by Chelsea when new owner Todd Boehly took over ownership, as they completely changed their transfer approach, which now revolves around finding talented young players.

Meanwhile, United spent more than they have earned, but the majority of their acquisitions have been subpar, and this has already been highlighted in their performance.

United will need to make significant changes to their recruitment approach since, worrisomely, most of their signings have been made in a hurry. They will need to make numerous adjustments if they wish to modify their transfer strategy since, in addition to the continuous manager-player conflict at the club, signing a young player requires you to be cautious about his growth.

There will be backlash because the Blues were criticised for only recruiting inexperienced players, which negatively impacted the team’s performance. However, our performance has shown encouraging signs of progress because the fans have started trusting the process.

Therefore, before signing young players, there are a lot of details you should know. First, if the manager wants that strategy and has a track record of helping young players develop, he should have a voice during the transfer window. Arriving in the Premier League is also quite different because young players will need time to adjust to the league, which could test the patience of fans.
