Blackburn Rovers were linked with a move for Manchester United defender Jaydan Kamason in the summer.
Blackburn Rovers were said to be keen on landing the Premier League youngster on loan along with Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton. However, nothing materialised in the end and he stayed put at Old Trafford beyond the last deadline in early September.
Kamason, 19, should leave Manchester United in the upcoming January transfer window to get some experience under his belt in the EFL and he would be ideal for Rovers. He would provide solid competition for Ryan Alebiosu and would give Tony Mowbray’s side more depth to pick from ahead of the second-half of the season.

The teenager is highly-rated by the Red Devils and he is being tipped for a bright future in the game. He was handed a new long-term contract by the North West giants earlier this year which shows how much they regard him.
Blackburn Rovers are sat in 13th position in the Championship table after their first 13 fixtures and they are four points off the play-offs behind West Ham in 8th. They lost 4-0 away at Swansea City last time out and are back in action on Tuesday night at home to Stoke City as they look to bounce back with a win.
Blackburn Rovers should rekindle Jaydan Kamason interest
Blackburn Rovers will be short of right-back options if Alebiosu picks up an injury. Therefore, they should try and bolster that particular with a winter loan swoop for Kamason.
The prospect has been on the books at Manchester United for his whole career to date. Rovers can provide him with a platform to show what he can do in the EFL.
Kamason, who is an England youth international, has risen up through the Red Devils’ academy. He has been a regular for his current club at various different youth levels.
He can also operate on the left if needed which would come in handy for Blackburn Rovers if they brought him in. He could offer cover for Harry Pickering and Yuri Ribeiro as well as Alebiosu.

The Verdict: Jaydan Kamason would be useful addition for Blackburn Rovers in January
Blackburn Rovers need to be smart with their recruitment. Kamason is someone who needs minutes and is an exciting young talent.
He would benefit from a temporary departure from Manchester United to boost his development and get some exposure to men’s football. He is yet to feature for the Red Devils’ first-team in a competitive fixture and is unlikely to do so over the coming weeks and months as they look to claw themselves out of trouble.
