Winger Emeran optimistic about excelling at Man Utd
Thursday, March 31, 2022

Rwandan teenager Noam Emeran is eager to make his mark at English Premiership side Manchester United.

The 19-year-old winger trained with the senior team – alongside Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford – under the watchful eyes of manager Ralf Ragnick throughout the international break and he hopes he can build on that momentum.

Emeran revealed that after his injury worries, which kept him out for several months, he spoke to Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney who urged him to remain strong and that has culminated to his impressive return.

"Rooney told me a player makes good or bad choices based on his determination,” Emeran was quoted in Le Parisien.

"I realized that I had to be demanding of myself and go all out.”

Emeran has featured in the last seven Premier League 2 games for the Manchester United under-23 side.

He is one of the few players from the under-23 side expected to get full promotion into the first team for the 2022/2023 season.

Emeran was born in France to a Rwandan mother and a Guadeloupean father, Fritz Emeran Nkusi, who represented Rwanda in international football between 2005 and 2007.

The budding winger is eligible to play for both Rwanda and France at senior level.
