Jacob Devaney addresses his Man United future after standout St Mirren loan
Jacob Devaney addresses his Man United future after standout St Mirren loan Youngster Jacob Devaney has sent a clear message to Manchester United regarding his future following an impressive loan stint with St Mirren. Flourishing Devaney joined St Mirren in the closing stages of the January transfer window in a bid to gain regular first-team experience. A product of United’s academy, he impressed for the Under-21s in the first half of the season and captained the club in Premier League 2.
Devaney has done very well in the Scottish Premiership despite St Mirren’s woes. He wasted no time in staking his claim in the starting XI and has been a regular fixture in the side. The 3-0 loss to Kilmarnock at the weekend marked Devaney’s 13th start for Mirren.
He has netted one goal for Craig McLeish’s side, which came in the Scottish FA Cup. After losing to Kilmarnock, St Mirren find themselves four points behind the Ayrshire side heading into Tuesday’s penultimate fixture of the season, a trip to Aberdeen. Devaney spoke to the BBC about his time at St Mirren and his future aspirations, which he hopes will be at United.
Devaney’s remarks The 18-year-old told the news outlet, “St Mirren came about really late. There had been conversations with Travis [Binnion, who was in charge of United’s youth teams] and Stephen Torpey, the head of academy, who said I’d had a really positive start to the season and thought the next step was to go out on loan. ” “I had somewhere else lined up, which the club wanted me to pursue, but when I heard about St Mirren, it was an opportunity I wanted to take.
I’ve grown up having an eye on the Scottish league and I thought it would be a great opportunity. I’m happy with how it’s gone. ” When discussing the experience of playing against Celtic, Devaney explained that the contest bears a certain resemblance to United.
