Manchester United had a £50 million bid for Evan Ferguson 'laughed off' by Brighton.
Ferguson has picked up where he left off last season, scoring a hat-trick against Newcastle in a fantastic 3-2 win for the south coast club, which will only add value to his growing price tag., former Newcastle talisman and Match Of The Day pundit Alan Shearer waxed lyrical about the Republic of Ireland international, labelling him a 'special talent'."I’ve studied his performances and he has the potential to be massive," wrote Shearer.
But the 53-year-old admitted that his departure is"inevitable" if he continues on his current trajectory, explaining: “It’s no surprise Manchester City are reportedly among the clubs watching him. It would be more of a surprise if they were not. “It wouldn’t be a shock if Ferguson was the next huge transfer out of Brighton, not that I wish it for them, but if he keeps progressing the way he is doing, it’s inevitable that something will happen not too far down the line — for the right price, of course.”
