The Man Utd captain, who is only only assist away from equalling Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne’s Premier League record per season, is renowned for picking up his teammates with this sort of sublime passes.

Is there a place for Thwaites at Man Utd’s senior squad next season?

Interestingly, Thwaites’ talent has often been compared to Pedri’s, but Man Utd supporters are starting to pick up similaraties between the teenager and their captain.

The 18-year-old has already trained with the first team on several occasions, and was part of last month’s camp in Dublin. Therefore, many beleive that Thwaites is a genuine candidate for a first-team spot next season, especially with so many vacancies to fill in the middle of the park.

The teenager wouldn’t necessarily serve as Bruno’s understudy in the No.10 role, given that Mount is expected to stay, but he could be an option for the double pivot where is most accustomed to, perhaps as a backup for Kobbie Mainoo.

Either way, the future looks bright for the young Englishman, who certainly has the required talent to make it at the highest level.
