Manchester United have stunned Barclays Premier League rivals Hull City by taking Nick Barmby's 14-year-old son from under their noses at the KC Stadium.

Sportsmail can reveal that Jack Barmby, one of the brightest talents in British football, has joined United after his father Nick urged him to quit Hull for Old Trafford.

Barmby, 34, is fulfilling a lifelong ambition by playing for Hull in the top flight and his son's decision has come as a surprise to the Hull board.

However, they cannot prevent Barmby Jnr leaving. United have been tracking Barmby's son for two years but they did not expect to sign him before he was 16.

Hull are not entitled to any compensation for the player because he was too young to sign for them.

Barmby, who is a left midfielder like his father, made his debut for United's academy side last Saturday.

Seems a bit strange in my opinion

interesting, but i dont like that no compensation rule, thats what pisses off chairmans of lower clubs.

Rahul · 22nd August 2008, 23:15

He made his debut last saturday ?

Don't know what to say about that no compensation rule.

Apparently, the kid is shit hot. One of my uni friends (i go to uni in hull) used to be part of the same amateur club as him (a few year groups above him obviously!) and spoke of him in glowing terms (this was about 18 months ago, so its most definately not bull...)

I'd like to think we'd give them a little something especially if they were a lower league team.
