Anyways good luck to him.

there was probably a skillset that United thought might develop and didn't as he got older. Maybe you would sign someone with good shooting ability, poorish positional play as a striker as a 15yo and hope you can bring him to the level needed. But perhaps this doesn't progress when he's 16 or 17.
Maybe he looked a word beater at 15 compared to others, but didn't progress as he got older. different players progress at different times.
