Every top class club has it’s own youth ‘factory‘, however not all of them are as good as FC Barcelona’s famous La Masia. That’s when scouts play their role – searching and trying to steal the best talents from other football academies. Manchester United’s new wonderkid is winger Adnan Januzaj who scored twice as United came from behind to claim a 2–1 victory over Sunderland back in October. Nevertheless the Red Devils should look for more starlets who would succeed at the Old Trafford in the future. Here are the chosen three youngsters which the club should have a look into:
Gerard Deulofeu | FC Barcelona / FC Barcelona B
Deulofeu is one of La Masia’s greatest products from the last few years and is considered as future Lionel Messi in Barcelona. However the 19-year-old winger could find it difficult to make the first squad, as Tata Martino has various other forwards to choose from when selecting the lineup, including stars like Pedro, Alexis Sanchez, Cristian Tello or Neymar Jr. That is why he has been loaned out to Everton until this season’s end in search of regular gametime. According to transfermarket.co.uk the Spaniard’s current market value is £13 million. Deulofeu has already capped in Spain’s U-21 national team and is know for his acceleration, ball control and eye for goal.
