VIDEO: Manchester United teenager does his best Messi impression with dazzling control and dribble

Catch me if you can

He didn’t learn this from Fellani anyway

Manchester United have not had a youngster come through and really wow us with skill in quite a while. Adnan Januzaj looked like he may have the potential but he has struggled for a spot in the team under Louis van Gaal who seems to have yet to make his mind up on the Belgian.

Well if LVG is looking for someone with more of a cutting edge then maybe he needs to check out a few more games involving Calum Gribbin at underage level.

The 16-year-old has been a star of the club’s U18 side this season and this highlight reel from a recent game against Aston Villa shows exactly why. The whole video is great but the highlight is at 6.51 when he shows amazing close-control to glide past a number of defenders before a defence splitting pass to one of his team-mates.
