Omari Forson has recently made the decision to leave Manchester United and has expressed his gratitude towards manager Erik ten Hag for the opportunities he was given during his time at the club. The 19-year-old, who began his football journey at West Ham before moving on to Tottenham and eventually landing at Old Trafford in 2019, has now signed a four-year contract with Serie A side Monza.
Despite turning down a new contract offer from the Red Devils, Forson remains appreciative of the chances he was given by Ten Hag. In a heartfelt message shared on his Instagram, the London-born playmaker thanked the Dutchman for believing in him and giving him the chance to showcase his talent in the Premier League last season.
During his time at Manchester United, Forson made four appearances in the Premier League and three in the FA Cup, all under the guidance of Ten Hag. The manager had shown faith in the young player by including him in the pre-season squad and handing him his first team debut against Fulham in February.
Unfortunately, Forson's first Premier League start ended in a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Fulham. However, Ten Hag's belief in the youngster's abilities and attitude remained unwavering. This was evident when Monza described Forson as "one of the most promising prospects in Europe" upon announcing his signing.
While Forson may have chosen to leave Manchester United, Ten Hag's future at the club seems to be secure for now. Despite a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season, the Red Devils have decided to stick with the former Ajax boss. This decision was influenced by their FA Cup win over Manchester City and a lack of suitable replacements for Ten Hag.
As United prepare for the upcoming season, they will be hoping to build on their positive end to the previous campaign. And with Forson now moving on to a new challenge in Italy, the club will be keeping a close eye on his progress. After all, he remains a promising young talent with the potential to make a big impact in the world of football.
