However, Malcolm Ebiowei also has interest from Crystal Palace, Vitesse and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/24\/aurelien-tchouameni-future-real-madrid\/\" target=\"_self\">Monaco<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021\/22, his debut season, he made 16 appearances at senior level for Derby County, scoring one goal and providing two assists. It&#8217;s been a difficult season for the Rams but many of the players have shined through including a few from the academy. Despite inevitable relegation, it&#8217;s remarkable the pride the players of the football club instilled into the fans during such adverse times.<\/p>\n<p>The sale of the football club is reportedly close to completion.<\/p>\n<h3>Steve McClaren Factor Could Help Manchester United Win the Race<\/h3>\n<p>Few will know Ebiowei as first-hand as Steve McClaren, Manchester United&#8217;s returning assistant coach. McClaren has been working at Derby County in recent months and will know all about the youngster.<\/p>\n<p>Romano states McClaren could be a factor but no decision has yet been made.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United&#8217;s appointment of Erik ten Hag as manager is in line with the club&#8217;s development idealisations. Ten Hag has a proven record of bringing talent through at Ajax, a club that makes a living out of doing such. His appointment will only enhance the pathway already there at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Ebowei started out at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/14\/disaster-derby-for-arsenal-ends-in-defeat-suspension-and-injury\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal<\/a> and has been capped by the Netherlands at U15 level and England U16s.
