Manchester United have swooped for Northern Ireland U17 captain Luke McCullough.
McCullough has confirmed he's signed a two-year scholarship contract with United.
"It's any boy's dream to get any club across the water but to get United, it's an added bonus," said the 16 year-old, who confesses he is a Liverpool fan.
McCullough admits he sees United defender Jonny Evans as a role model.
"It's a great achievement for somebody from Northern Ireland to be a regular at Manchester United," he added.
The young centre-half will be joined at United next season by another Irish recruit, 16 year-old Donegal goalkeeper Joe Coll, who signed scholarship forms back in March.
