Brandon Forbes
Released from Norwich City last week.
Should we offer him a route back home?
I know it was only one game, but that was by miles the most memorable Utd debut of an Academy player since Ryan Gauld.
Not just for the free-kick btw, his over all contribution and impact.
What would be the actual harm in letting him train with us during pre-season, i.e essentially a trial.
I can't imagine he has any better offers currently.

Yes. If he still had the same potential and hasn’t been ruined.

Re: Brandon Forbes
I’d maybe offer him to train with us during pre-season with a view to signing him.
I think a lot of these English academies stunt young players development and take away the things that got them there in the first place. I wouldn’t personally go in two footed offering him a deal without seeing what he’s like now.

Yep, we also know nothing about his attitude. For all we know, that might be the reason for his release. Not saying thats the case,just that it might be
