Ex-Arsenal junior Matt Willock happy with Man Utd progress

Former Arsenal junior Matt Willock is happy with his progress at Manchester United.

The 18-year-old midfielder is now pushing for inclusion in Warren Joyce's Under-21 team after graduating from the Academy.

"I was a schoolboy at Arsenal but was released at 15 so I had trials at a few clubs, including Reading and Sunderland. I ended up signing for United. It was a bit disappointing when I left Arsenal but it worked out well," he told manutd.com.

"I've got two younger brothers playing at Arsenal - one [Chris] is in their youth team and the other [Joe ] is in the Under-16s there."
