Ipswich Town and Sunderland among Championship clubs eyeing Manchester United defender

Manchester United haven’t only seen a number of their academy talents go on to become Championship mainstays. They’ve seen some of their coaches take EFL jobs too, with Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick leading Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough respectively.

Now though, it is claimed there’s a Manchester United talent interesting both bosses. HITC reports that Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough are among the sides keen on centre-back Will Fish, who is currently on loan in Scotland with Hibernian.

They’re far from the only ones keen though. The report states Sunderland, Hull City, Blackburn Rovers, Stoke City and Premier League side Sheffield United are also monitoring his progress.

Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough both have a connection to use in the pursuit of Fish, but there looks set to be strong competition for his signature. Sunderland did business with Manchester United for Amad Diallo and after his successful loan, they could view the Stadium of Light as a good place for him to go.

A step up seems to await Fish after his latest success in Scotland. He’s in his second stint at Easter Road and has been a mainstay at the back, playing all but one game across all competitions this season.
