Northern Ireland U17 Skipper Links Up With Six Nigerian Wonderkids At Manchester United

Northern Ireland under-17 captain Ethan Galbraith has agreed a three-year deal with Premier League powerhouse Manchester United.

The Irish Football Association writes on its official website that Galbraith's contract includes an initial one-year scholarship and then a two-year pro deal, and he will travel to England this weekend to sign on the dotted line.

A product of Linfield, the teenager was offered a contract by the Red Devils after impressing the coaching staff at the Liam Brady Tournament, where he helped the club finish third.

Ethan Galbraith was linked with a switch to Liverpool before he agreed terms with the Old Trafford side.

Six players of Nigerian descent Tosin Kehinde, Matthew Olosunde, Mipo Odubeko, Deji Sotona, Michael Elechi and Shola Shoretire play for the youth teams of Manchester United.
