So, from 11 he is connected to United.
From which team was he poached????
Quite obviously Spurs as he was offered a youth contract with them, the team who had been training him yet Manchester United came in and poached him

Thats the point I was trying to put across Man Utd has no or very little fully home gown players, they concentrate all their efforts on signing young talent from other teams rather than promoting it from the grass root level and developing their own youngsters.
