Biography
Creative midfielder who broke into the Under-18s set-up as a schoolboy, gaining valuable experience in the league and FA Youth Cup.
Indeed, he came off the bench of each of the Reds' ties during the run to the 2021 semi-finals before the prestigious tournament was unfortunately curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When it restarted, United were beaten by Chelsea in the semi-final at St. George’s Park. Forson spent the early part of his youth career in London with West Ham United and Tottenham. The midfielder was involved during our Tour 2023 pre-season campaign of the USA before his first-team debut followed in early 2024. On Monday 8 January, Forson replaced Marcus Rashford during stoppage-time of our FA Cup third-round victory over Wigan Athletic, becoming our 249th Academy graduate in the process.
