🔴 NOAH AJAYI — ANOTHER ACADEMY GEM IS RISING!
Manchester United could soon secure the future of another highly-rated academy prospect, with Noah Ajayi reportedly close to signing his first professional contract with the club.
For United supporters, this is the kind of development that will bring plenty of excitement. After impressing throughout his time in the academy, Ajayi appears to be on course to take another important step in his development at Carrington. 🔴❤️
Standing at around 6’2″, Ajayi is an exciting attacking player capable of operating across all three positions in the forward line. His pace allows him to threaten defenders in behind, while his dribbling and confidence in one-on-one situations make him difficult to contain.
The youngster is predominantly left-footed but is also comfortable using his weaker foot, giving him greater flexibility in the final third. His powerful shooting is another notable part of his game, with the youngster showing an ability to create and finish chances.
🚨 Ajayi Could Train With Carrick’s First Team
One of the most exciting aspects of Ajayi’s development is the possibility of him spending significant time around Michael Carrick’s first team this season.
Regular exposure to senior football and training alongside established Manchester United players could accelerate his development and help him understand what is required at the highest level.
Ajayi has already demonstrated that he can handle the step up to U21 football, including an appearance against Real Madrid U21 at Old Trafford.
The current plan could see him continue developing around the senior squad before potentially making an even bigger push during next summer’s pre-season.
🔴 Another Academy Star To Watch
Following the recent uncertainty surrounding JJ Gabriel, United fans will understandably be encouraged by the possibility of another highly-rated young attacker committing his future to the club.
Manchester United’s academy has a long history of producing players capable of making the jump into the first team, and Ajayi now has an opportunity to put himself firmly on that pathway.
There is still plenty of development ahead for the youngster, but his physical attributes, versatility, pace and attacking ability make him a name worth keeping an eye on.
If his progress continues, Noah Ajayi could become one of the next Carrington youngsters to attract serious attention from Manchester United supporters. 🌟🔴
