Manchester United talent Jacob Devaney in advanced stage
According to Sports.
Background
Jacob Devaney, a 19-year-old Irish player, has already proven his potential during his time at St Mirren, where he impressed as a starter. His move to Hibernian could give him the opportunity to further explore his role in midfield or as a centre-back, depending on the needs of the Scottish Premiership club.
Why this matters
Devaney's potential move to Hibernian could be crucial to his development as a player. After his successful spell at St Mirren, where he showed his qualities in the Scottish Premiership, a loan deal at another Scottish Premiership club is a logical next step. This offers him the opportunity to gain more experience and increase his chances of a place in the Manchester United first team.

Jacob Devaney is close to a new step in his development. The 19-year-old Manchester United talent is in advanced talks with Hibernian over a loan deal to the Scottish Premiership. Devaney, who wore the captain's armband at United Under-21s in the first half of the Premier League 2 season last season, made the move to Scottish side St Mirren in the winter for his first longer spell in senior football.
That rental period turned out well: Devaney played 18 games, 16 of which as a starter. His maturity and choice of position in possession earned him praise at Paisley. Returning to United, the Irish Under-21 international helped in the preparation and was given minutes in the first two friendlies, against Wrexham and Norwegian side Rosenborg. Remarkably, he played as a central defender instead of his preferred position in midfield, and against Rosenborg he crowned his performance with a goal.
Devaney already announced this summer that his ultimate goal is to break through into the first team of Manchester United. At the same time, he realizes that extra playing time at the highest level is crucial. A new rental period is therefore obvious. According to those involved, interest in Devaney is high, but discussions with Hibernian are currently at an advanced stage. However, an agreement has not yet been reached.
For Hibernian – the club from Edinburgh – the possible arrival comes at an interesting time. Hibs held out with a 0-0 draw at KAA Gent in the first leg of the Conference League play-offs and are chasing a place in the group stage of a European competition, something the club has never achieved before. Extra depth in midfield can be exactly the push needed for the coach and selection, both in Europe and in the competitionfind continuity.
A rental structure offers benefits for all parties: Devaney gets a weekly rhythm in a demanding competition, Hibernian adds an energetic and versatile midfielder (who can fill in at the center back if necessary) to the selection, and Manchester United sees a talent develop further under competition tension. As long as no signatures have been signed, caution remains necessary, but the contours of a logical next step for Devaney are clearly emerging.
What's happening now
If talks with Hibernian are successful, Devaney could quickly join the club and contribute to their campaign in the Scottish Premiership and possibly the Conference League. This would also give him the opportunity to further develop his skills in a competitive environment. Fans of the club will no doubt be looking forward to seeing his performances and how he adapts to the level of the Scottish Premiership.
