James Wilson happy to be role-model to Man Utd juniors

James Wilson is happy to be a role-model for the young trainees at Manchester United.

Wilson scored twice on debut in victory over Hull City last week.

The teenage striker told Inside United: "Yes, I think a few of the younger lads in my digs are asking things and, obviously, as a boy, I used to look up to lads when I was their age. The roles are reversed now and I know what it is like to be in that situation."

He added: "I'm definitely pleased. I've got through the three age groups and, as a striker, I want to score goals. I've done that at each level, but the most important thing is to keep improving - as long as that keeps happening. To get to where I am now, I have obviously improved."
