A growing number of Manchester United supporters are determined to see the club make a move for highly-rated Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson this forthcoming summer - with some even likening the forward to club legend Wayne Rooney.
The 18-year-old, who scored twice in the Seagulls' 5-0 FA Cup quarter-final win against Grimsby Town on Sunday to book a semi-final date with United next month, marked his full debut for the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday evening with a goal, helping them beat Latvia 3-2 in a friendly. He scored their second goal of the night with less 20 minutes on the clock, bundling the ball home from close quarters.
Ferguson, who is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting prospects in the Premier League, has been in blistering form since forcing his way into Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi's plans after the World Cup. He has scored seven goals and grabbed three assists in just 16 games this term.
