Man Utd have an interest in the Brighton striker, although the Seagulls’ chairman might have something to say about that.
Evan Ferguson might or might not start today’s match between Brighton and Manchester United, but you can bet the cameras will be focused on him. Before the international break, the Irishman scored a hat-trick against Newcastle, the first of his professional career. However, manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that he is questionable for the trip to Old Trafford.
The south coasters might want to play their cards cautiously with their first foray into Europe in the middle of the week. For United, Erik ten Hag will be hoping that his own young attacker can assist take some of the load off of him.
After scoring just six points in his first four games of the season, he is desperate for a win, and another loss will just increase the pressure. The Seagulls, like any beach bird, enjoy seizing the moment, and the off-the-field issues with Jadon Sancho and Antony at United have diverted all attention from reversing their terrible situation.
Both players cost United in excess of £70 million, and Hojlund, a third, will be expected to lead the assault on his Old Trafford debut. Given that he has yet to start a game this season due to his back ailment, it is unclear how much he will be used before Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Harry Kane, who United believed would not be sold this summer, was acquired by Bayern. Kane was United’s top summer target. This prompted them to spend £72 million on Hojlund.
Ten Hag will be able to get a close-up look at a potential future striker as United gears ready to take on their former target while Ferguson is on the field, though. United is keeping tabs on the 18-year-old, as are most likely the other top-seven clubs as well.

Tony Bloom, the manager of Brighton, has already stated his opinions on signings for January. The chairman reportedly stated, “I don’t like to do much business in January,” according to the Argus. None of our key players will likely be sold in January, in my opinion. We simply avoid doing that. No one of our key players, though I’m not saying certain guys won’t be sold.
Even if he did support the Reds growing up, United may not have the resources to execute a January deal and only a strong season would put them in a position to land the attacker next summer.
The profile of Ferguson is comparable to that of Hojlund. Hojlund’s season is therefore sink or swim at £72 million, but let’s at least tryBefore the adoration for the next new striker begins, give him some time to paddle..
