Manchester United target 'unbelievable' £25m-rated ace along with Chelsea and Arsenal

Manchester United beat Leicester City 2-1 in the FA Cup on Friday night last time out. They went 1-0 down against their fellow Premier League side before turning the tie around.

Striker Joshua Zirkzee scored their equaliser against the Foxes. Defender Harry Maguire then bagged their winner late on at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are back in action next Sunday in the Premier League. They face an away trip down to London to face Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United target Chris Rigg

United are showing an ‘interest’ in Sunderland midfielder Chris Rigg along with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle United and more, as per CaughtOffside. The report adds that the teenager is ‘set’ to become available this summer for £25million.

Rigg, 17, is being tipped for a bright future in the game. The Red Devils could see him as someone to bolster their midfield ranks down the line.

He has been on the books at Sunderland for his whole career to date and has risen up through their academy ranks. The youngster broke into the Black Cats’ first-team in 2023 and hasn’t looked back since.

Rigg has made 54 appearances in all competitions for the North East outfit, 29 of which have come this season, and he has chipped in with seven goals. His current club could face a battle to keep hold of him in the next window amid interest from the top flight.

His teammate Luke O’Nien said last year: “He is unbelievable. Even in training some of the things he does are incredible. He is such a pleasure to watch. I am out of position half the time because I am just watching him. He is mesmerising. Chris has been one of our best players so far this season, but he is just doing what he does. The rest of the team are so happy for him.”

What now for Manchester United?

United will want to build some momentum now and rise up the table. They didn’t play great against Leicester last time out but they got the job done as they await the fifth round draw.

Speaking afterwards, Amorim said: "We have to believe it until the end but this has nothing to do with the time of Fergie. I think we have to do so much better, with the ball, without the ball. We didn't have any energy in the beginning, especially in the first half. Then in the second half, we played a little bit better with a little bit more speed and winning second balls. Then we managed to turn things around and it was a good result but not a good performance."

He added: "It's everything, it's the performance, it's the result. I'm not thinking about the end of the season now, because the final is at the end of the season. I don't care about that, I care about the moment. The moment is clearly not good enough. It's a good result. We move forward to the next stage. We have a week to prepare [for our next league game] but today was not a good day."
