Manchester City development chief Mark Allen admits they're delighted with the progress of junior player Aaron Nemane.

Nemane made his U18 debut this week - at just 14 years of age.

Allen wrote for City's website: "This game is not about winning football matches, it's about getting the maximum out of every individual and pushing them to see how far they can go - the latest of which was Aaron Nemane who was 14-years old when he made his debut the other week at Fulham.

"It was a quite amazing debut from Aaron - we were talking on the sidelines and we thought his pace might make a difference and then literally with his first touch he put the ball in the back of the net, so we all had a wry smiles on our faces.

"It was no fluke as he followed it up with a brave header which for a 14-year old boy in under-18s football shows he has the temperament and he can cope with that arena.

"Aaron was there on merit, he deserved his chance and it bodes well for his development. Nathaniel Oseni is another one coming through the ranks at an early age - Tosin Adarabioyo is another who is injured at the moment but has made that development."
