Man Utd hand trials to Grimsby keeper Rob Peet

Manchester United have handed trials to Grimsby Town Youth goalkeeper Rob Peet.

The 18 year-old will have a five-day test at Carrington next week.

Mariners goalkeeping coach Steve Croudson is delighted for his young protégé.

Croudson told the Grimsby Telegraph: "I'm absolutely made-up for Rob.

"You work with someone like him every day and when news comes through like this, it's fantastic. It's a great opportunity for him to go there and enjoy it first and foremost.

"How many people can say they've been to train at Man United; I can't and not many people can.

"He will go there and train with some great players and work with the goalkeepers there for a week.

"Edwin Van der Sar is the best goalkeeper around in my opinion so for him to work with Rob is absolutely brilliant - I'm jealous of him if I'm honest."
