In preparation for the upcoming summer transfer window, Manchester United has reportedly started building a shortlist that includes Evan Ferguson.
Despite signing a five-year contract extension in April, the Red Devils are keeping an eye on Ferguson in the hopes that they can convince him to leave Brighton & Hove Albion in 2024, according to Manchester Evening News.
Bolstering the frontline won’t go amiss for United in future windows and could even aid Rasmus Hojlund’s development with some healthy competition.
MEN’s report states that Anthony Martial could be released when his contract expires in June 2024 if his substandard form and availability issues continue.
Prior to the international break, Ferguson netted his first-ever Premier League hat-trick against last season’s high-flyers Newcastle United.

At just 18 years of age, the Irishman is well on his way to becoming the complete striker; he is agile, boasts sensational striking ability, is composed and presents significant aerial threat being 6ft2in.
It’s exactly those reasons why Manchester United must be willing to part with an arm and a leg to secure his services, though, as the Seagulls will ensure they get their money’s worth if they absolutely have to oversee Ferguson’s exit anytime soon.
