The 20-year-old Ghanaian was described as being 'on the verge' of being bought by United in March by the BBC, but a move was seemingly placed on hold until this summer's transfer window. Upon returning to Leicester his form noticeably improved, surely boosted by sky high confidence from his time at United, and bagged three goals in six games. In June, Schlupp said: "I spoke with Sir Alex a couple of times. Before games, he would just tell me that I was a good player and to go out and play to the best of my ability. He just calmed you down and made you feel like the pressure was off." But something else happened in June; Sir Alex Ferguson retired and David Moyes took over, and Schlupp's potential switch to United has failed to materialise. "Everyone knows Jeff is a forward-cum-winger and he got thrown in at the deep end a little bit at left-back," Everyone knows how attack-minded Jeff is. He's a great lad and he's got a bright future in front of him.
