Erik ten Hag ’s previous decision to send Amad Diallo on-loan to Sunderland could prove to be a genius move with Manchester United attempting to seal the services of the Black Cats’ 15-year-old wonderkid Chris Rigg.
The Old Trafford outfit are reportedly highly interested in the young midfielder as one of the future, as per The Sun. Rigg, a product of the Sunderland academy, has already garnered plenty of attention for his performances for the youth sides at the Stadium of Light.
He is rated as one of the most promising young footballers in the country having already captained England’s under-16 side. Rigg has been plying his trade in the U18 Premier League over the past couple of seasons but has earned a handful of outings for Sunderland’s U23 side - a display of his huge promise.
