This kid can play. Not sure if any of you have seen much of him, but here's a video clip.

He is due to start/has started his 2 week trial at Manchester United (article)

He's never played against decent opposition, his first United training session will probably scare him to death :p

Hyped to death for a few years now, should be interesting to see if he can cut it.
 
Done to death on every football board.

Look at the defence. I play against better defences in class games where everyone has to play :/

hes just an average player in the mls so what would make him so great over here ? Only scored 3 goals this season or something like that
 
Yeah he's all hype, he has potential with the pace but no more than gonzales/joaquin those sorta players. I remember in the MLS All-Stars game versus chelsea pre season, he was stopped by Robert Huth countless times, really don't think hes up to it atm!
 
The guys a good player. He's 17, noboby gave Rooney a hard time at that age. Like any under 21 player it's all about potential.

There's been many a player that has burst onto the scene and done well for a year or two then fizzled out, Franny Jeffers is the perfect example.

If he does sign and learns quickly, Man Utd is probably one of the best places to be!
 
I laugh out loud on an hourly basis at most of the Tripe that comes out of peoples mouths on here. Honestly.......If any of you had a pedigree that would qualify your opinions as valuable, I might bat an eyelid but why do you insist on being so negative, naive and narrow minded?
This kid can play, fact, would he be at Manchester UTD if he could not? How good were you at 17? Were you playing in a different country from Ghanayan origin for a professional team with interest from a major club...I wasn't and I certainly didnt & dont have a highlight reel on You Tube!....So what the pitch markings and commentators in MLS are different to what we have in our country - is that a reason to laugh at it? Have you ever been to Ghana and seen the kids playing in the street with a stuffed carrier bag for a football? Have some respect...please!
I hope he makes it and learns a lot from his time at Man U, good luck to him and i'm sure he'll continue to be a player who commands the media and attention he deserves.
