Manchester United are determined not to make the same mistake they did with Jude Bellingham and miss out on the promising talent of Chris Rigg from Sunderland. The Red Devils’ pursuit of Bellingham was well-documented, with even legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson getting involved in trying to bring the midfielder to Old Trafford. However, Bellingham opted for Borussia Dortmund instead, where he has flourished and become one of Europe’s top players.
Now, United are focused on securing Rigg’s signature before he becomes a star elsewhere. The club scouts are convinced that the young attacking midfielder has the potential to be the next big thing, drawing comparisons to legends like Bryan Robson and Roy Keane. Despite Rigg signing a professional contract with Sunderland, United are still monitoring his progress closely and preparing to make a move for him.
Although competition for Rigg is expected to be fierce, with teams like Newcastle United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City showing interest, United are determined to win the race for his signature. Foreign clubs like Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and RB Leipzig are also keeping an eye on Rigg, making the battle for his services even more intense. With a potential deal in the works for the talented teenager, United are eager to avoid another missed opportunity and secure Rigg’s future at Old Trafford before it’s too late.
