Man Utd raid Liverpool for "top England prospect"

[Kenneth]

Not that it matters but it says he was at the club since he was 12. Not that he is 12.

They signed him after he played a game for the under 18s

If he was 12 and impressed with the under 18s well...........

Fair point.

Manchester United have trumped Liverpool for teenage prospect Scott Wootton.

The People says the England youth international from the Wirral had been with the Anfield club since he was 12, but he and his family were upset when he was offered only a short-term deal to stay.

Wootton turned down the contract and was immediately picked up by United who offered him the chance to be a professional - after just one run-out in the under-18 side last week.

It is a major slap for Rafa Benitez's club and insiders reveal Wootton left because he thought there were too many foreigners at the club's academy and his way would be blocked.

And the size of his potential was quickly spotted by eager United.



not sure if anyone knows about the kid, or what has happened? Seems pissde off by the amount of foreign talent we're bring ing in. Does anyone know if this kid has the talent to make it, oz it'd be a ****ty day to lose him to the mancs if he did

LOL - slight exaggeration!

Ah sod it. I released Wootton last night on my Footy Manager game. **** him, he's ****.

I'm 35 and I know plenty of 12 year olds with their heads firmly up their arses. I blame the parents, and in Wooten's case I probably sympathise with him there.

[Assassin]

If he had been a decent prospect, he would have got a longer contract offer..........end of

He featured a couple of times in the under 18's. Didn't do anything impresive but know that he has signed for the mancs he has become a 'top prospect' He will probably be called a wonderkid in the papers tomoz But when he was at LFC he was just a England youth player

[Johnny]

If he was anygood he`d have stuck around to fight for his place in his beloved Liverpool.he`ll be a great player for Stoke in 5 yrs.
