Northern Irish teenager Ethan Galbraith will join the Manchester United academy, the player himself has confirmed.
The defensive midfielder signed a pre-contract with the club in January and will soon be in Manchester to make his move official.
He says his dream as a child was to play in England as he described his move to Manchester as "amazing".
"I went on a couple of trials last year after I was spotted playing for Linfield U16s. I must have done okay because United then offered me a contract in January," he told the Irish Mirror.
"The trials were good, and I was playing with top players as well. Players like Angel Gomes who is moving onto the first team now.
"I played in a couple of friendly games and also some training sessions and it was a great experience.
"I signed the pre-contract in January and I will finally travel over to Manchester this weekend to live there and sign my full deal.
"It is one-year scholarship and then two-year pro deal. I will be playing with the Under 18s next season, but the big aim is to progress to the first team."
