He came off the bench for the Young Red Devils team and made a good impression.

One journalist who saw the game said on X: "he's going to shock a lot of people very soon."

Raducio King, an academy coach, compared him to Paul Scholes and Ronaldinho: "I could see him playing as a No10, like a Wayne Rooney role, driving forward, switching balls, tackling, attacking, you name it.

"Just making sure the team does well - he can attack and defend.

"I've played the game myself and I know being great at that age is good and it's something to be proud of.

"However, if the end goal is reaching the first team, you have to keep yourself humble and working. I think he can get there."
