As many of you know my heart belongs to Tottenham, but I’m also a closet Man Utd supporter.
I read an amazing story on the BBC yesterday about 9 year-old Rhain Davis has just been signed by Man Utd, after his Grandad sent a video of him playing in Australia.
After seeing the video, Man Utd immediately signed him and are in the process of moving his whole family to the UK while he trains with the youth teams. For those of you outside the UK who aren’t used to the academy system this isn’t unusual. In fact, it happened to one of my mates who was moved to Manchester with his whole family when he was 13.
I decided to search for the video, and true to form, it’s on YouTube. Rhain’s been dubbed the new ‘Rooney’ already, but I after watching the video, I think he’s better than that. What I particularly liked about Rhain Davis, was not so much the tricks and turns, but the fact that he’s always got his head up looking for his teammates and the pass.
Check out the video and let me know what you think. I really hope he makes it and continues to develop as he’s going to be one special player.
