Manchester United have let some very talented footballers leave over the past few years for virtually nothing, and the latest mistake is beginning to prove it.<\/p>\n

For all the talented young footballers Manchester United<\/a> have recruited, there is a similar number of prospects who have been allowed to leave for a ridiculous fee.<\/p>\n

It is almost like giving away these talents, with some already proving themselves after being let go.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Fernandez is now shining for Real Madrid<\/a>, having been initially discarded by United for \u00a35m in 2024. To a lesser-known extent, Maxi Oyedele has been impressive since leaving<\/a>, earning a move to Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Similarly, United will regret letting Ethan Galbraith go<\/a>, as he looks more and more likely to be a Premier League player next season and could easily have been a squad player for United.<\/p>\n

All the aforementioned players would have a place in Ruben Amorim\u2019s<\/a> squad right now, at different levels.<\/p>\n

However, in the near future, we can see Zach Baumann joining this list.<\/p>\n

On transfer deadline day, United let Baumann depart for Norwich City<\/a>, in a move which sees the talented teenager bet on his chances of breaking through into the Championship side.<\/p>\n

Well, despite yet to debut, Baumann has now scored his first goal for Norwich U21, and it was an excellent goal and he also added an assist.<\/p>\n

Baumann picked the ball up in the number 10 position before using his power and pace to drive through the defence, before coolly sliding the ball into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n

Norwich can uncover Zach Baumann\u2019s immense quality<\/p>\n

It was a bit of a surprise when United decided to let Baumann leave the club permanently, considering he is viewed as a top talent.<\/p>\n

Last season, Baumann was called into first-team training under Amorim<\/a>, which only a lucky number of young players get the chance to do.<\/p>\n

We have completed the signing of Zach Baumann from Manchester United \u270d\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Welcome, Zach! \ud83e\udd1d<\/p>\n

Comparisons to Adam Wharton are correct<\/a>, as the pair look a match physically, with long legs and being capable of being an all-action midfielder.<\/p>\n

Baumann is also capable of excellent offensive moments, as he showcased in his maiden Norwich goal.<\/p>\n
