@econtiThe pipeline keeps humming at Carrington. Karim Cassim is officially a Manchester United player, 17 years old, poached straight from Manchester City with the Premier League giving the green light. Box-to-box midfielder, England youth international, and he was on the books for City's FA Youth Cup run last season. Word from inside the club is they think he can grow into a first-teamer eventually. But zoom out and the pattern is loud: Cassim from City, done. Tynan Thompson from Tottenham, targeted. David Eze, also City, on the list. Isaac Konde from Liverpool, same. That's not luck, that's a plan. United have been deliberately shopping the academies of their direct rivals and handing these kids a route through Carrington. We already watched Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi walk over from Arsenal and turn that into senior minutes. So which one of this new batch are you watching first 👀 #AydenHeaven
