Man U has stated that it is not uncommon for them to recruit and develop young talent and that like all of the other players on their youth squads, he will be subject to their annual reviews.
Dust off those video cameras and start editing your highlight reels folks, because YouTube is your chance to market and self-promote your kid in hopes of getting him a pro contract or college scholarship.
