The Englishman has given his debut for Manchester United Senior team against Crystal Palace back then in 2017 by Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho. He is an exciting youth talent who likes to play as a no. 10 with a wide range of passing, grown-up through the ranks of Manchester United academy. He claimed his first hattrick against Everton before turning 16.

He captained the English U-17 side in a memorable Croatia Cup Victory by winning all 3 games and also thrashing Germany 8-1. He was also the part of England U-17 World Cup triumph in 2017. With his impressive stats of 16/17 season, he was rewarded with the Jimmy Murphy Player of the Year award for 2017. Now he is a regular for U-23 side playing as a No.10 and acting as a valuable asset for the team.

The youngster is known for his wide range of passing, technique, pace, dribbling, flair, and composure, but he lacks the physical side of the game and the Premier Leauge thrives on physicality.

So he need to work on that before making it to big stage.
