Mantato has been a regular at senior training this season and also made the bench for the first-leg in Bilbao last week.

The winger has 14 goals and 14 assists this season for the U18 and U21 United teams.

Mantato was attracting interest from major Premier League rivals before ending the speculation by penning his pro deal this week.
