MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Omari Forson will leave the club on a free transfer this summer, according to reports.

The Red Devils forward, 19, made his first-team debut in January and racked up seven appearances during the second half of the season.

In his first Premier League appearance he came off the bench and immediately assisted Kobbie Mainoo's stoppage-time winner in a 4-3 victory over Wolves.

Yet despite breaking through into Erik ten Hag's side, Forson is set to depart Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the month.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, he will leave as a free agent and is already "attracting interest".

Romano goes on to state that "several" unnamed clubs are keen on the talented attacker.

Forson, who has two caps for England's U20s, joined Man Utd from Tottenham in 2019.

Prior to being in Spurs' academy, he also spent time at West Ham.

His only start for Man Utd came in a 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Old Trafford back in February.

Speaking about the decision to put Forson in his side, Ten Hag said: "Lately, he's performing very well, over the last half year he's worked very hard, showed his progression.

"When he came on against Wolves and Newport he had some impact, for instance with the goal for Kobbie Mainoo, he had the link up and good run behind. That's what we expect from him.

"He showed reliability and now he gets his chance, so he has to take his chance."

He went on to add: "He will be fluid and we will be unpredictable sometimes. Those players have the capabilities, the dynamics, they want to find space, run abilities but also link up abilities.
