Indeed, United point out that Agyei has topped the interception and progressive pass charts in his current league. "He's comfortable receiving the ball under pressure and has shown he can operate in different roles, whether that's sitting in front of the backline or playing in a more advanced, box-to-box position," Goodwin said"Emmanuel has extensive experience of senior football in Ghana, having made in excess of 70 appearances back home in the top flight, whilst he has become a more polished and rounded midfielder during his time in Israel playing against strong European opposition. "His career path shows a mental toughness and willingness to challenge himself in new environments and that's exactly the type of character I'm keen to add to my existing group." Meanwhile, United have appealed against the red cards shown to Amar Fatah and Panutche Camara during their 3-0 defeat by Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday. Winger Fatah was sent off midway through the first half at Tannadice for a challenge on midfielder Marc Leonard, before midfielder Camara received his marching orders on 75 minutes for motioning his head towards Leonard.
