Jordan Torunarigha has been one of the best young players in European football currently. The 19-year-old German international is currently playing for Hertha Berlin and is being pursued by a number of big name clubs in all over Europe, along with Premier League side Manchester United.
Manchester United has been facing problems in their defence of late. Players like Phil Jones and Chris Smalling has been in and out of the team with injuries and their performance in recent matches has been highly criticised by the current Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho. Apart from the English duo, other defenders like Marcos Rojo and Eric Bailly have also been sidelined by prolonged injuries, leading to a tumultuous situation in the Red Devils camp throughout the current season.
The Portuguese mastermind Mourinho is hopeful that the inclusion of the young German Torunarigha will help Manchester United to evade their defensive woes to some extent. Torunarigha has also been a fan of English football and has reportedly expressed his desire to play in the Premier League in the near future.
This has boosted the chances of Manchester United to sign the youngster in their line-up for the next season. Jose Mourinho is known to be a good nurturer of young talents over the years, and his benevolent guidance has helped Rafael Varane of Real Madrid to become the star player he is today.
Jordan Torunarigha has represented his country at the U20 level and has displayed an enormous amount of discipline and concentration in his style of play throughout his career so far. He is good with both his head and foot and has the capability to clear balls from the box. He is also handy during set pieces situations like corners and free kicks and can score crucial goals under pressure. He is a bright young prospect for German as well as European football. Experts are sure that Torunarigha’s skills will become better with time.
Although Manchester United has been looking to include the German youngster into their team in the next season, Torunarigha’s current club Hertha Berlin will definitely look to keep possession of their prized player for many more seasons to come.
Reportedly, the German U20 international has been taking regular English classes and sat for an English test recently. Speculations are strong that he is sharpening his English so as to keep up with his English teammates and coaching staff in case there is a chance for him to make a move to England in the forthcoming years.
