Manchester United Are Keeping Tabs On This Bundesliga Full-Back: Should Carrick Go For Him? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Manchester United are keeping tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt full-back Nathaniel Brown. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are eyeing a move to bring the German talent to Old Trafford this year.

Brown’s Decent Form In German Football

Brown has put in a string of impressive displays on the left side of Frankfurt’s defence this season. The German left-back has caught the eye by scoring one goal and grabbing six assists in 27 matches for his current employers in this campaign so far across all fronts.

The 22-year-old is currently among the best young full-backs in European football. Hence, Man United would be wise to get a deal done for him this summer.

His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2030. Thus, Man United would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting him this year.

Should Manchester United Boss Michael Carrick Go For Brown?

Brown is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot.

The German sensation can shoot the ball well from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes from the left flank. Brown is primarily a left-back but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player if asked to do so by his manager. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to snap him up this year.

We can expect Brown to add more quality and depth to Man United boss Michael Keane’s defence. He is more than capable of securing a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club in the coming years.

At 22, Brown has got the potential to be a future star in English football. He will also help Man United compete for a top-four spot in the Premier League. Hence, it makes sense for the Red Devils to go for a player of his quality this year.
