I actually watched all of this at the time. Was quite entertaining. Few skillful wee lads. The number 10 for United was very handy and no.5 at the back was very strong. Poor VDS in goals only touched the ball twice, taking it out of his net. Rene's son didnt get too many touches either. I think it was no.16 for Ajax on the left was very good, and the David Luiz lookalike at the back

He could of been released though, i believe bid clubs usually review the younger players on at 12, and then if they make the grade keep them on till they are 16, where they are reviewed again. |

According to the video on youtube, Rhain Davis was born on the 15-10-97. He was 9 years old when he signed for United in 2007, which means that he is 13 years of age now.
He was probably too old to appear for the U13's in the friendly with Ajax and too young to appear for the U15's in the Premier Cup, although a player can obviously be included in a higher age group. Of course, this all depends on the cut-off points for each competition, but it's possible that we will have to wait another year to see if he appears in the Premier Cup. |

United sign many young players. Davis was 'famous' because of his YouTube videos.
Let's be honest, he could have been amazing at 9, but I'm sure (if he's still at United) there are some players with a better chance to become professionals. |
