A little Zirkzee and a little Ibrahimovic, the Englishman born in 2006 Ethan Wheatley he is one of the many nuggets from a youth academy that in recent years alone has produced talents of the caliber of Willy Kambwala, Jack Hinshelwood, Shea Lacey, Kobbie Mainoo, Isak Hansen-Aarøen, Zachary Joseph Giggs, Alejandro Garnacho and so on. The Red Devils’ Under 19 center forward is a mix of technique and physique, of rapacity and technique, a player who knows how to be present in the small area but also do badly from medium distance, despite his centre-forward physique. In short, there are all the right ingredients for a great footballer, also considering the environment in which he is developing, which is excellent for emerging young players.
Not even from the point of view of personality and consistency is he lacking, given that this season he was voted as the best young player of Academy United, also beating a phenomenon of absolute precocity such as the previously mentioned Lacey and succeeding players of the caliber of Mainoo, Garnacho , Shoretire, Elanga, Greenwood, Chong, Gomes and Rashford. Not bad!
