​DONE DEAL: Man Utd beat rivals to Slovakian whizkid Svidersky

Manchester United have completed the signing of Slovakian starlet Martin Svidersky.

The Red Devils beat off competition from the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, West Ham and Celtic, to land the services of the 15-year old.

The youngster wrote on Instagram: "A day I will never forget. Delighted to sign my first contract with Manchester United.

"I would like to thank my family, friends but especially God for big support.

"Many more things to come in future."

He added: "A dream come true."

Svidersky will join Kieran McKenna's U18 side and will be hoping to eventually break into the Red Devils' first team in future years.

If he manages to eventually break into the club's first team, he will become the first Slovakian to do so.
