Evan Ferguson was signed a year ago by the Brighton from Irish club Bohemians and was seen as a future prospect but has now been thrown straight into the deep end, and he has not only survived but thrived at the top level.
Earlier in the season at just 18 years old and 76 days, Evan Ferguson became the youngest player to score in consecutive Premier League appearances since Federico Macheda in 2009. Impact.
And just three minutes later, his assist for Solly March made him the youngest player to score a goal and provide an assist in the same match since Michael Owen in 1997. Do you think Manchester United should sign him?

I saw this coming from ages ago, I follow the youth teams around Ireland looking for the next great players (I'm not a scout, I just enjoy finding talent and following their career) and I knew he was talented but did not see him becoming this good lol
Good spot Howson. Well made vid. A bit of me wants us to get him and loan him back so he gets a full season in. Then go get Osimhen and Thuram (latter on a free).
Let’s get Greenwood back and bring in Oishiman or Kane
let’s get him signed 🙂
Way you describe him reminds me of Norman Whiteside.
He’s very good player for his age he’s got it all. ETH could mould him into a serious player
I think Ten Hag wants Kudus. I'd take him and Osimhen
He's the kind of gem United need to be buying instead of these 100 million quid flops.
He should have had a goal Today against Leeds. He was hauled down but with advantage Brighton got the goal anyway. I absolutely agree with your analysis. He is destined to be a star. Would love to see him playing for Man Utd.
So, going to Dortmund next year then yeah?
What abou McNeil in the youth team what has happened to him
From a non British fan. I do believe that having British and British-Adjacent (Irish, Australian, Canadian, etc) players in the team is important for the club's identity. It's just kind of boring when all the big teams have the same mix of Spanish, Brasilian, Argentinian and French players. Maybe some African guys and a random Portuguese/Eastern European in there. When I started following United most of the team was British, and the other nationalities were what gave it a little spice.
Couldn't agree more, has all the potential and could start straight away for us. He'll thrive
United isn't United without Irish blood in it
He’s said to be a united fan aswell
If the Quataris take over. They listed – Youth Development as one of their targets. Evan Ferguson is one such piece of this development jigsaw.
Under the guidance of Ten Hag and Benni. Who knows what this kid could do for United. He would cost nothing, and I am sure would deliver dreams to supporters.
I am Irish and a Bohemians supporter (Evan Fergusons' old club).
Eric should take a chance on this guy; nothing to lose, all to gain.
Why let another club buy him for 8 million and sell him for 38 million in two years. Take a chance Eric… I dare you… Cmon united…👍
Vlahovic and Ferguson for me
Don’t go anywhere near this Ferguson dude until he proves himself 3 consecutive seasons.
We need 2 and it should be Osimhen/Sesko and Ferguson
you are thinking what I was thinking, especially hearing he turned down Liverpool
I would love to see United get him. He's exactly the type of player we should be in for. Young, with a ton of talent and upside that can still be coached up and molded by EtH and his staff and taken to the next level. Also his price tag would be considerably less than more established stars.
The issue is only one, he's too young meanwhile we need a striker who's already ready for the biggest challenge
Kane and one of Ferguson/Hojlund/Kolo Muani while binning, albeit sadly Martial would be the dream forward line revamp.
Haven’t watched much of Ferguson, I must admit, but dude looks absolutely jacked for 18
But if you had to choose one would it be Ferguson or Sesko
Brighton will probably want at least 50m for him
JON DAVID!!
Thanks for another thoroughly enjoyable post and for completely swerving politics. Only political comment I’ll make is that you could buy and sell most of the dross on the BBC. If they come knocking, mind you say yes!
he's not 6 foot though. he's between 6 foot 1 and 6 foot 2.
That's why i don't like american metrics. doesn't paint the full picture.
He's 1.88m. I am 183cm/6 foot tall, and my friends who are 1.88m tall feels so much different from me even though it's barely 2 inches more.
Evan Ferguson has been my choice for a couple months now! Really hope we get him!
Do we not have scouts in Ireland? We use to find great players from there, this one got away but hopefully Nick him from Brighton
I would get benzema on a free an buy ferguson let him learn of a world class striker kane good but not world class don't do it big games for me spend the money on other areas.
Irish fans have been tracking Ferguson with excitement for a long time. This guy seems to have it all. Definitely agree he’s the type of signing we used to make…bring the boy in!
I reckon we'd have to pay in the region of 40m at the moment and even then, not sure why Brighton would want to sell.
Ambidextruity 🤣
He's a beast? If we don't sign him this summer someone else will.
I would sign him in the summer and then loan him back to Brighton until January or maybe the whole of next season. Give him a full season as the first choice number 9 to show what he can do
He is overrated by the English media. He is average.
Above all that he said he’s a United fan…
SIGN HIM UP!!!
As good as he looks at 18 we have Charlie McNeill at the same age. Should we buy someone who blocks his path long term or an older player who is very clearly just a back up?
We need Ivan toney
Don't push the price up… get Rio on it
Get this kid in he sounds awesome!
Would have to be alongside a Kane I don't think you bring in 18 and a 21 year old if it's Oshimen then we don't go for him but if we get Kane would make sense
An Irish striker up top for united, fuck yes please 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Couldn’t agree more Stephen, Fergie would go get him in his day. Bohs have another kid James McManus, just seventeen, already being touted the complete midfielder, he’ll be signed over before end of season. Shame to miss him if he goes elsewhere.
get him now
I thought I was the only person that saw how good he was. Happy he’s being noticed. Reminds me of ronney
As an Irish man, I would love him to sign for manu utd. . but maybe wait a year or two. but his prices will go to the next level.
Sign him up and send him to Dortmund for a year or two on loan, get that European experience in so he comes back to United firing
Made his debut for Bohemians at age 14 against Chelsea
