Man Utd staff 'perplexed' as club holds back 18-year-old wonderkid 'ready to be unleashed'

Premier League

Manchester United

Leicester

<p>The young midfielder has been on fire this season, racking up a hat-trick in United’s 8-0 victory over Leeds, which pushed his season tally to 10 goals and four assists as of early November. His remarkable performance against Leeds isn’t an isolated case. Earlier this season, he grabbed the spotlight with a four-goal display during a<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-youngster-james-scanlon-four-goals-red-devils-under-18s-run-riot-9-0-rout-blackburn/blt677971bb113b1416#cs8feed2e53e7636a7" target="_blank"> 9-0 win over Blackburn on his 18th birthday. </a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14044177/MAN-UNITED-CONFIDENTIAL-United-Sky-Sports-Ruben-Amorim-questions-Eric-Cantona-Erik-ten-Hag.html" target="_blank"><em>The Daily Mail</em></a><em>, </em>some staff members have expressed concern that Scanlon’s lack of promotion could hinder his growth, potentially impacting his chances of becoming a first-team player. The academy faces the complex challenge of distributing playtime among numerous talented players while ensuring each prospect receives the exposure and development opportunities needed to succeed at elite levels. However, many feel that Scanlon has outgrown his current setting and could benefit from more advanced competition. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Adding to his accolades, Scanlon has already made his mark on the international stage as a full-fledged player for Gibraltar. Additionally, his recent recognition as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) at a youth tournament in the Netherlands this season highlighted his skills and maturity on the field. His contributions in training also secured him a spot on Erik ten Hag’s pre-season squad, a move that hinted at a bright future within Manchester United’s ranks. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The young midfielder has proven his readiness for more challenging responsibilities, and his integration into the Under-21s and subsequently into the senior team should be the next natural step. With Ruben Amorim set to take charge, his fortunes could change and receive the the platform he deserves to show his mettle. </p>
