Not in the squad today. Hopefully not another injury as you'd expect him to be ahead of a 2nd keeper on the bench.

After AWB had another shocker for Manure today it looks like the 50 mil was a stroke of genius. If only Ferguson can get a run of games maybe picking him up for peanuts may also be a decent bit of business. Still time on his side.

Agreed.

And that was also the case when he was with us. In 2 years at Old Trafford he hasn't progressed.

And if anything the careers of Rashford, Greenwood have stalled.

As for Ferguson, he's only going to get game time if we get injuries. Maybe a loan out with a recall option is the best way forward for him right now.

Old, Ungifted and White

TBF I never understood why they wanted him. As you said, excellent in 1vs1, but that's not really the key requirement of a top 6 fullback in the modern game.

I understand your argument, adding that Ferguson as a footballer is very inexperienced, only playing 22 first-team games in his career and his last start was nearly 2 years ago.

Perhaps a spell on loan at a lower division club will be in the interests of Ferguson and our club.

Back to Ferguson; the plan was to give him U23 game time but Omicron put a stop to that.

What PV and Co had planned after that, who knows? I suppose it depends on how well he does in the U23s once they're up and running again and then how he does in training with the first team squad. We can but wait and see.
