KEY POINTS

  • Manchester United is one of the top clubs in the world
  • It is speculated that they are the current frontrunners for up and coming star Eduardo Camavinga
  • Camavinga is usually compared to the likes of Paul Pogba

The expectations to become a big football star are immense and the pressure is increased further if top-tier clubs are heading the recruitment. This is the case for young midfielder Eduardo Camavinga who is linked as a future player of Manchester United.

The hype for Camavinga is similar to those young players who stand out among the best in the world. While it’s a bit too early to predict how these players’ careers will fare, this hasn’t stopped people from making comparisons to the world’s top stars. In the case of Camavinga, he is usually portrayed to blossom and have a career similar to Paul Pogba.

This is a huge comparison to live up to as Pogba has made a name for himself as one of the bigger names in football. The central midfielder has already starred in one of the largest stages in the sport and has led his team to several great moments.

One of these includes the time he captained the French national team in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. To add to these, he was also a pivotal member of the succeeding World Cups in 2014 and winning it all in 2018.

There are massive shoes to fill for Camavinga if he wants to live up to the Pogba comparisons. The dribbling and all-around game of the Pogba are elite and anyone who can come close to that caliber will mightily help any club.

Per Red Devil Armada, the Reds believe that they are in strong contention to be able to sign Camavinga. The 17-year-old star has a lot to learn but is already groomed to play for one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. This comes at the need of Manchester United’s manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and their desire to deepen their roster in the midfielders department.

It will be an exciting route for Camavinga as the possibilities are abundant for the Stade Rennais standout. It will be interesting to see how Manchester United plays its cards in the succeeding months and if they’re able to sign Camavinga in the near future.
