2009/10 First-Year Scholars?

[WeWonItTwoTimes]

Any ideas as to who/how many will be offered scholarships for next season?

We had six last year I think (Devlin, Wotton, Brown, King, Brady and Petrucci).

 

[PS18]

Ajose last year too, making seven.

Don't think anything's been confirmed yet, but I'd expect to see 10/11 taken on either as scholars or students. Morrison, Tunnicliffe, Thorpe, Johnstone, Fryers, Cofie, Hussain, W Keane, M Keane, Lingard, Cole, Gorman are all possibilities (some of them probabilities/definites), might be a signing á la Macheda/Petrucci as well.

didn't we sign a belgian from Royal Antwerpen earlier this year? I think he was due to join us on his 16th birthday...

I just found a story refering to this, and the player is Charni Ekangamene

and from RedCafe https://www.redcafe.net/f9/charni-ekangamene-his-way-old-trafford-238661/

He turns 16 too late to be a scholar this year (September if my memory's right?).

I think Cole and Johnstone is a year younger. Giverin got a contract too

Cole and Johnstone are both 1993s as is Giverin. All of the players in the list above are 1993s apart from Tunnicliffe (30-12-92), Fryers (9-9-92) and Lingard (15-12-92) who were born after September 1st 1992 so have 2 more years at academy level

Name: Samuel Johnstone
DOB: 25/03/93
Position: Goalkeeper
Club: Manchester United

Tall and athletic, Samuel made his first appearance for the U16s against Scotland this season and produced a fine display, commanding his area and pulling off a few excellent saves.

So you are right about him.

Cole is born in 1993 but I do not know the date or month.

 

[PS18]

Cole's born March 1993, don't know a date.

Doesn't really matter about 92's or 93's anyway, anyone born between 1-9-92 and 30-8-93 are eligible, which includes all the names I listed above.

 

[PS18]

Fryers - 9.9.92
Gorman - 26.10.92
Lingard - 15.12.92
Tunnicliffe - 30.12.92
W Keane - 11.1.93
M Keane - 11.1.93
Thorpe - 13.1.93
Cofie - 21.1.93
Hussain - 27.1.93
Morrison - 2.2.93
Johnstone - 25.3.93
Cole - March 1993
