Put it this way, when Ronaldo jets off to Madrid in a couple of years we won't need to buy a replacement. United ITK's have been aware of his talents for some time.

He was apparently one of the best players at the Nike Premier Cup, and he's been getting a look in at some u18 games lately where he's done all right whenever he's come on.
I'm sure Mujac and PS18 will be able to tell us more. |

New name to me, but one to keep an eye out for.
Nice to hear we have such promising talent coming through the ranks. |

Saw him play for the first time on Saturday vs Bolton, had only heard promising things before then. He did look very impressive, amazing pace and a superb chip over the keeper for the goal. If he is in fact 15 then he has lots and lots of time to improve especially (as in the case of Welbeck) we rate him highly enough to train with the first team in a couple of years.

The point of this forum is to discuss up and coming youngsters at the club. There's a fair few people on here who have an amazing knowledge of what goes on, at academy and reserve level. When I started the thread, I was hoping for that kind of input, so was inclined to take your first post seriously. Turns out you were just being a smart-arse. Hence my response. |

saw him play in the chelsea game too and he looked decent. He missed good a chance where really he should have scored BUT he showed a lot of composure in the first place
He's quick, quite small and can evidently score goals albiet at this level. It's only one game though but I suppose he must be fairly consistant to be rated as highly as he is |

I wasnt being critical..hello? hello? The reserves are probably in the main a good 3 or so years older BUT they're still kids who 99/10 haven't made it yet at their clubs So while we could say he scores goals - doing it at a higher level will prove it with no doubt |
