Manchester United Transfer News: Nick Powell Key for Red Devils' Future

Manchester United can sign their next star by bringing in teenage striker Nick Powell.

Powell, who played last season with Crewe and led them to a League One promotion, has been offered a lucrative deal to join the Red Devils, according to a report by Daily Star. The signing could wind up being a real game changer in the long-term landscape of the Premier League.

Powell is a very promising player who is a proven scorer, with an impressive 16 goals last season. At only 18 years old, he has the potential to grow into a true star.

Other major teams have displayed interest in Powell, including Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton and Fulham. The signing of Powell will not only give the Red Devils a great midfielder for the future, it keeps other teams from claiming him as well.

United still claims one of the deepest rosters in the entire Premier league, and adding Powell will only serve to make this team deeper. Maintaining a deep roster is one of the reasons that United is one of the most dominant teams in the league year in and year out.

The fact that they can go out and sign some of the best young talent available is a testament to their attractiveness as a destination to play.

Powell is a star for Crewe and could sign with numerous clubs that would allow him to be the No. 1 star on the team. Instead, Powell will likely choose to become a part of the ever-growing winning tradition of United.

As long as United is able to continually lure in some of the best talent in the world on a regular basis they will continue to be one of Premier League's powerhouses.
