Manchester United ‘Pushing Hard’ for 18-Year-Old With Huge Potential
Who Is Malcolm Ebiowei?
The Derby County winger has made huge impressions at Pride Park this season. On top of making his first steps into senior football for the Rams, the 18-year-old has impressed in the youth leagues, scoring seven times from seven U18 Premier League appearances.
Ebiowei spent four years with the Arsenal youth academy before a further one with Rangers. He then moved to Derby’s youth setup in 2021 before making his first-team debut just a few months later in February 2022.
He scored his one and only senior goal in a 2-0 Championship victory over Blackpool, although Rooney’s side had already been relegated to League One by that point.
Manchester United Pushing Hard for Winger
According to Shrager, the winger is sought after and the Red Devils are looking to sign the youngster. However, reports suggest that Crystal Palace are also interested in the 18-year-old winger.

Other Targets
Shrager continues and adds that Porto midfielder Vintinha is a target for the Red Devils and that the club are currently discussing personal terms for him, but have not made an official bid to the Portuguese club.
However, Fabrizio Romano claims that Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are “closing on final details with FC Porto after agreement on personal terms with Vitinha and his agents.”
