Everton haven't been able to ensure consistency in the current campaign as they often follow up a positive result with a negative one. 

The Toffees will be desperate to enjoy a rich vein of form under the guidance of Marco Silva as this would really leapfrog them into the European places. Although, they did receive some negative news recently, as according to Sun Sport, Manchester United are set to beat Everton for the signing of Isak Hansen Aaroen.

Manchester United are poised to pip Liverpool and Everton for the signing of the 14-year-old.

The teenager is currently earning rave reviews for hometown club Tromso, which has sparked interest from the three Premier League clubs.

Hansen-Aaroen has already had spells on trial with the Manchester United, as well as both Merseyside clubs, but it is the Red Devils who are leading the race to secure his signature.

Tromso sporting director Svein-Morten Johansen had this to say:

"We have had very positive discussions with Manchester United

"Of course there is a long way to go, but we are working well with Isak's family about an agreement."

THE VERDICT:

The youngster looks to be the real deal and will no doubt grow up to become a future star of the game if he is provided with the correct guidance. Although, it appears as if Everton will have to watch his progression from a far as Manchester United look set to secure his signature.

Indeed, the Toffees have done well to develop a number of young talents over the years and have plenty more in their youth system, so it's a shame that they couldn't bolster their youth ranks.
