Fans back Harrison
Football fans reacted positively on social media, saying the Bafana prospect could succeed at the club that has produced talented players such as Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford.
James Cross is a fan:
"Elyh is very good."
Peter Mwangi is excited:
"The future is bright."
Comr Emmanuel Samuel backs Man United::
"This is great. Build more academy players up just like Mainoo."
Kalulu Richard Watson backs the decision:
"Good idea."
Maximillian Masunga asked a question:
"Can he play for the future?"
Rhulani Rikhotso backs United's decision:
"Noticeable recall: Amorim needs every player for the new project. Considering Man United's underwhelming performances. Great opportunity for him to show his capabilities."
Elisha Chisirimunhu backs Harrison:
"Put him in place of Onana."
Karabo Chechane made a prediction:
"He will probably go on loan in a higher division."
Hlobo Malinga asked a question:
"Why is he recalled?"
Lelo MJ Marakalala is negative:
"Why recall him? Because he won't even make a matchday squad, let alone train with the first team, or maybe Chester FC didn't want him anymore."
Marcus Rashford heads towards Manchester United exit
As reported by Briefly News, English forward Marcus Rashford's tenure at Manchester United could end after the player was sent home from training.
Rashford has struggled for form at the Red Devils this season, while reports emerge of a fallout with management due to his personal life getting in the way of his professional career.
