Default ManU signs 9 year old Aussie wunder kid

MANCHESTER United scouts have hailed a nine-year-old Australian boy who recently signed with the English Premier League club as the next Wayne Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo.

...

"The scouts, who watched him play for just a few minutes, said he could be a new Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo," an unnamed source told The Sun newspaper in Britain.

Nope. What could possibly go wrong heaping that much pressure on a nine year old. I know when I was nine I was ready for all kind of responsibility. I think I had a house key and a goldfish when I was that age.

At 9 year old level there's always 1 kid better than the rest.
He had a couple of lucky hits and was very greedy. He kept going into the midfield getting himself into all sorts of trouble! His distribution was poor and that kind of play will be PUNISHED when he gets up against stronger opposition!
