Manchester United sign nine-year-old YouTube wonder kid

Quote:

LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Manchester United have signed a gifted nine-year-old after his grandfather sent the Premier League champions a DVD showcasing the boy's talents which has become a YouTube sensation.

Rhain Davis, who was born in England but has lived in Australia since the age of four, was hailed by the British press on Thursday as the next Wayne Rooney after the United striker.

Real people. Real success stories. Yahoo! Personals. See Stephanie and Mike's story.
The boy's dribbling and goalscoring prowess for an Under-10 side in Brisbane, Australia, feature in a four-minute YouTube clip, already viewed more than 800,000 times.

United confirmed the signing but played down the hype around Davis, who has moved back to Cheshire in northern England with his father, near the club's training ground.

"He's a member of our academy and we don't comment on individual members," a United spokesman told Reuters.

He added that the club sign about 40 players of Davis's age every year and, as is standard, will decide annually whether to renew his contract or release him.

What was so unusual in Davis's case was that his skills were brought to the attention of United's youth scouts by the DVD submission, which could inspire other hopefuls, the spokesman said.

"We're bracing ourselves for a whole series of DVDs," he added.

Davis has been thrilled at the chance to rub shoulders with some of his idols.

"The best part has been meeting lots of players like Wayne Rooney," he told British newspapers.

wow that kid is amazing. Good thing we aren't going to take Elton Johns advise and shut the internet down for 5 years. lol

Gifted or not, the kid should be in school, not playing professional soccer. He'll end up a slightly more masculine version of Lindsay Lohan in a couple years, watch.

Elton John must be running a paysite...

Even if he ends up a deranged cokehead he can say that at one point in his life he was talented at something. Unlike Lindsay Lohan.

holy crap...he is good

Man Utd probably signed about 39 other kids who are on the same level as him this year.

When i played football at 10/12 we had one of these wounder kids in our team and he signed for newcastle ( back when they were o.k ) now he plays for some 2nd divison side, To much to soon.

Are they talking about "signing him" as in they would actually let him play in the Pros?

but lindsay lohan is hot

They will stick him in some sports academy where they pretend they are also giving him a good education. You have to hope for him that he stays that good.

holy cow, what a kid, that footwork ... omg at that age ! :)

wow....soccer....ummm....I guess since I"m not Mexican it really doesn't impress me.

did anyone miss "He added that the club sign about 40 players of Davis's age every year and, as is standard, will decide annually whether to renew his contract or release him."

not a big deal

He is good for a nine year old. Shame his life will be revolving around football now and he may turn out crap and then have fuck all to fall back on for the rest of his life.

I have never seen any of these kids that get signed at an early age turn out to be the superstars everyone says they will become.
