Caicedo’s Family Are United Supporters
The 20-year-old Ecuadorian has enjoyed a brilliant start to the season with Brighton. He dominated the Red Devils’ midfield in his side’s 2-1 win over the club less than two weeks ago and won over many at Old Trafford. For now, Romano adds, the Seagulls don’t want to lose the midfielder and will make things difficult for United if they push for him.
Meanwhile, reliable journalist Jonathan Shrager has also noted that the Ecuadorian midfielder’s family are Manchester United fans. As a result, the 20-year-old is thought to be open to a move. The reporter also adds that the Red Devils were interested in signing him in 2021, but backed out of the deal at the last moment.
