Oxford’s future looks decided
The manager may take a further look at the teenager in the Fourth round of the FA Cup at Wigan but has all but made up his mind that he’s not yet ready for Premier League action.
Oxford has made one very unimpressive appearance in the 3rd round replay against Shrewsbury Town after he had been injured ahead of the first game.
Now he may have just have one last chance to make an impression although we understand the lad has his heart set on a return to Borrusia Monchengladbach until the end of the season at least anyway.
With Declan Rice in particular, and Reece Burke making great strides this season, the manager is understood to believe that Oxford would benefit from a German rturn.
And were the club to receive a firm offer from ‘gladbach of around £18 million it now looks likely they would take it.
