Celtic Interested in Signing Former Manchester United Winger
Brendan Rodgers has spoken in the past about how Celtic urgently need high-calibre signings for their first team. But when the January transfer window ended, the club didn't live up to the fans' expectations, which left the Parkhead faithful feeling let down.
Now that the focus is on the summer window, there is renewed hope for substantial improvements to the first team.
The club might be looking to improve their youth ranks as well, with the academy not having produced a first-team regular in years.
Adam Berry's name has been linked with Celtic recently. The former Manchester youth player is currently looking for a club.
According to FootballTransfers, Berry is on trial at Nottingham Forest following his departure from Manchester United. He is being eyed by several clubs, including Sheffield United, Celtic and Blackburn Rovers.
In the event that a deal is reached, Berry would probably join the Celtic B team. He is a prospect for the future rather than a player who can solve the team's current problems.
Berry is 18 years old and has represented England at the U17 level on a few occasions. He has a good reputation because of his adaptability as a number ten, winger or even as a central midfielder.
Berry had a twelve-year tenure at Manchester United but did not end up making it to the senior team for the Old Trafford outfit.
It is also notable that Berry had a brief trial period last year with Rangers. He was thought to have been involved in their B team's match with Icelandic side Breidablik and against Hearts B.
There does seem to be quite a bit of interest in the signature of Berry. The youngster certainly has to have something about him, considering he spent more than a decade at a club like Manchester United.
If Celtic do manage to sign him, it would be a boost to the club's B team. But considering their recent record when it comes to handing chances to youngsters at the senior level, one has to question what the long-term future would hold.
