Freddy Adu is in the middle of his 2 week trial with Manchester United across the pond in England. He’s working on solidifying a move to play in the Premiership and become the soccer player that the world has been making him out to be since he was 12 years old.
But some say that moving to England and playing with Manchester United might be the wrong decision for the 17-year-old Freddy Adu.
Peter Nowak, coach of DC United, where Adu currently plays and is under contract says Freddy “needs matches.” He believes Freddy should go to the Dutch League where he can get more matches against better competition.
If Freddy were to make the Manchester United team he would more than likely reside on the development squad for a few years where he may never make it off of. The Manchester team brings in the best players from around the world and to see a young talent get stuck behind players that right now might be better than him would be devastating.
Freddy may never get off the bench and we’ll never get to see his talent blossom.
But then again, he’s a great talent himself and may be able to step right into the starting line-up for Manchester United and play some of the best ball the world has ever seen. I believe Freddy Adu knows what he is doing and knows what he wants and will get to the top of his game the best way he knows how. Playing aginst and with the best.
