Wayne Rooney's son bumped up three age groups with surprise Man United call-up
He had been in line to grace the hallowed turf at the Theatre of Dreams back in December when the U18s hosted Peterborough United in the third round of the FA Youth Cup, but missed out through injury.
United went on to win the game 1-0 and have now set up a clash with Derby U18s on Friday, January 23.

It was a setback that left the 16-year-old devastated as he shared a picture of himself at the time wearing a protective boot and on crutches along with the caption - 'Life can't get worse.'
Prior to the injury, Rooney had turned out twice for United's U18s via two substitute appearances against Everton and Middlesbrough.

Unfortunately the U18 Premier League season to date hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for Darren Fletcher's side.
United's U18s enjoyed a blistering start to the campaign as they won five matches on the bounce without conceding.
But the Young Devils then endured a six-game winless run in the U18s Premier League, including a 4-2 defeat to Man City U18s.

Who else plays for Man United U18s?
Aside from Rooney, Fletcher may also look to call on the youthful exuberance of 15-year-old talent JJ Gabriel.
The fleet-footed teen, who already boasts more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, has wowed fans with his absurd trickery in viral videos on social media.
He's also backed it up on the field with 11 goals from just 14 appearances for United's U18s so far this season.
Gabriel has already signed a long term deal with Nike and has even been nicknamed 'the kid Messi.'
His father Joe O'Cearuill is also a former professional footballer and played for theRepublic of Ireland, though Gabriel is still eligible for England.
