Omari Forson: Man Utd debut an honour

Manchester United youngster Omari Forson could not hide his delight at making his senior debut.

Forson came on for the Red Devils during their 2-0 FA Cup third round win against Wigan Athletic.

With the game safe, Forson came on for Marcus Rashford to become the 249th academy player to feature for the club's first team.

He spoke to MUTV after the game, stating: "I think it's an honour. I've been working toward this moment for a long time now, so really happy to finally get my minutes.

"Nothing much [going through his head] really, just listen to what the manager said, come on, work hard and try make an impact.

"Kobbie [Mainoo] has been playing quite a lot recently and there are a lot of other academy boys that have come through the same system as I have, so that's really helped me."
