Hamilton could be on his way out of Manchester United despite new deal

Neymar had only just turned professional in 2009 but his outstanding talent ensured he was expected to become a Brazil football legend. Watch Neymar at age 17.

Manchester United confirmed Ethan Hamilton signed a new deal on Wednesday, but the young midfielder may not stick around for the long-term given the difficult task he has to make in into the first-team. Hamilton is 19 years of age and a defensive midfielder who is adept at turning over possession and covering every blade of grass on the pitch.

The teenager would provide steel to the engine room but there’s a lot of competition in the senior squad in he was ever to make the transition from youth football – Scott McTominay, Marouane Fellaini, Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera, Fred and Nemanja Matic.
