Any parent letting their SIX YEAR OLD child into that kind of scenario, is a twit.

having said that, my wife was invited to the royal school of ballet when she was 12 years old, her mother said no, she is now serving fries at mcdonalds ( not really she works for social services but still dreams).

12 and 6 are somewhat different.

of course you're wrong.....as much as we all hate the scum, you have to admire them - they are, like us, one of the traditional super powers in world football - if the lad is any good - they will bring it out of him.

Are you seriously telling me that you would hinder your kid in realising his goal as a premiership player?

Before you reply calling me a manc..........don't - i despise the *******s as much as the next liverpool man.

yes i know but we are talking about parents choices and the bias they have when it comes to there childrens future, like i say no way would i have let my son if i had one play for man utd, but it would have been on a totally selfish point of view, for example my dad pulled me out of boxing because i was ****e at it. now thats not being selfish that was clever.

i think you are spot on mate in your analysis and there is something sadly lacking in my decision and it would be my loss, a selfish point of view as a parent but i wouldn't change it im afraid. ( thank fuk i have daughters).

They're 6 different.

Truly, you're a human abacus

I would def let him go on trial. At 6 years old he is hardly agreeing to join them for life. If it helps his development then great and when he's a teenager you can tell Liverpool to have a look at him and im sure they would if he was with the Mancs.

[Neil Young]

Truly, you're a human abacus

That's 50% correct.

[Craig_H]

Sorry, a canine abacus.

[Neil Young]

Carry on.

[Jack D Rips]

Surely this must qualify as child abuse. The lad should be taken off this silly man and his wife. If he has one.

maybe i am a naive die hard and a selfish parent but i am convinced i would never let it happen and my wife agrees but its easy for me because the scenario has not and is never likely to arise.
