As Nigeria’s Flying Eagles continue their campaign at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile, fresh reports are linking Premier League giants Manchester United with interest in 15-year-old goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt.
According to several online sources, United are believed to have dispatched scouts to observe Harcourt, who has attracted attention for his commanding presence and maturity well beyond his age.
Though no official confirmation has come from Manchester United or the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), local sources suggest that Harcourt’s impressive shot-stopping and calm under pressure have piqued the interest of talent-spotters from Europe.
Why Harcourt Is Drawing Attention
Harcourt is the youngest player in the Flying Eagles setup, yet he has reportedly trained with senior Super Eagles keepers in the past.
Known for his penalty saves and command of the box, Harcourt has earned growing praise from coaches and analysts alike.
Despite not being the first-choice starter, scouts are said to be watching his progress both in matches and behind-the-scenes in Chile.
While no scout sightings have been confirmed and the reports remain speculative, this story highlights Nigeria’s growing export potential in youth football. Whether or not the Man United interest is real, Harcourt’s rise is one to watch closely. We’ll keep monitoring for official confirmation.
