Manchester United have agreed to sign 15-year-old midfielder Charlie McCann from Coventry.
McCann, who was called up by England Under-16s earlier this summer, was one of the brightest prospects in the Sky Bet League Two club’s academy.
McCann has supported the Red Devils since a small boy and the lure of Old Trafford was clearly a major factor – his parents having told City that he would have turned down any other club.
“When a big football club come knocking, and it is the club that Charlie supports, you must let him go and have that experience,” revealed Academy boss Rich Stevens.
“We did not want to sell him, we did not need a fee for him even though there was a fee involved.
“Charlie goes with complete support from me and the rest of the staff from the Academy. He has been unbelievable for us, even making his England debut back in August.”
Speaking in the club’s matchday programme, Stevens added: “I have spent a lot of time with Charlie and I love the boy to pieces. I also have a lot of time for his family who are incredibly supportive.
“We will keep an eye on him and be here if he needs us. His parents told me that if it would have been any other club it would have been a firm no, but when it is the club that Charlie supports, that is football. Charlie goes with our full support.”
