Son of Man Utd legend Cole wants to make it - with Man City

The son of Manchester United legend Andy Cole says his dream is to make it - at Manchester City.

Devante Cole, a striker like his Dad, is already an England youth international and tipped for big things at City.

He told City's website: "I've been at the Academy since I was eight years old. My ultimate goal is to break into the first team. I just kick on and see where I can go. Hopefully I may be able to push through within the next couple of years."

Inevitably, comparisons will be drawn with his father, but like any son of a famous player, it's something Devante will take in his stride.

"I just have to get on with things," he smiled. "I just want to be known for being me. I've got to establish myself in my own right and that's something I'm determined to do.

"When I was really young I used to look at players like Thierry Henry for my inspiration, as well as my dad. Now I'm looking at a variety of different players to see where I can benefit from aspects of their game and adapt that into my game."
