Evan Ferguson signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in the January window of 2021. Since then, he has taken huge strides in his professional career. He has emerged as one of the best performers for the English club and a valuable asset.

Ferguson is having a quiet season so far as he has managed to find the back of the net only once in 13 outings so far. However, his value in the market continues to remain high. He is averaging 1.1 shots, 0.2 key passes, and 0.3 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

The Irish attacker primarily plays as a striker but can also fit in other roles. He is physically strong, has a good pace, and is effective with both feet and sheer aggression. His link-up play is up to the mark and he has also got a remarkable shooting range.

A real replacement for Marcus Rashford?

It seems like Manchester United’s patience with Marcus Rashford has come to an end. The player has failed to regain his shape and form similar to two seasons ago and the club are willing to offload him to book the profits or losses.

With the new manager Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils are about to adopt a new project. As Rashford doesn’t fit in, the club want to bring Evan Ferguson as his replacement. Notably, the Brighton star has been impressive and on the radar of multiple clubs.

Ferguson could be an apt replacement as he can feature in multiple positions. His striking and link-up playing abilities are top notch and his aggression will surely bring a new element into the side. However, the striker could be costly for Manchester United as Brighton value him at around £60 million.
