​Man Utd youngster Harrop 'over the moon' about debut stunner

Manchester United starlet Josh Harrop made his dream come true on Sunday.

The life long United supporter was making his first start for the club against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. After just 15 minutes of play, the Englishmen jinked his way into the Palace box and lashed home a wonderful strike past Eagles keeper Wayne Hennessy.

"I've dreamed about it so many times so, for it to come true today, I'm delighted," Harrop said after being voted man of the match by the United fans.

"Over the moon!

"All my family were here, my friends – I'm delighted they could share the moment with me. I've trained since I was eight for this moment so, for it to come true today in front of everyone, I'm over the moon, speechless."
