Is that Chris McCann's son as I remember his joining our academy when he was on loan at us last season

Not much you can really do in these situations when a club like that comes calling and the player is set on going. Good luck to the lad.

Not too sure how highly rated he was compared to the rest of his group, I'm sure there were other players of a similar age who look even better prospects who are still here. Perhaps @SlowerThanPlatt may know more.

He's a really good player. There's been rumours about this move for a while, you can't begrudge a lad a move to a club like that. Hope it all goes well for him

United have been interested since April. They weren't lying about him only wanting to leave for MUFC - heard that he turned down Fulham & Celtic.

Fair play to the lad - hopefully there's a Daniel Sturridge-like sell-on fee in there.

There's 2 others who are as highly rated in the same age group as McCann. Ngandu is one but has had a few injuries

Dream move for him, fair play
Who's the other, I'm intrigued

B.Rowe. He also has been involved with England, plays centre back
Thanks mate, hopefully we can hold on to these players a bit longer. At least till they have played in the first team.
Edit. I'll have a look in the new football manager for them

Dream move for the lad but no chance of ever playing in the first team

From the CT comments section :emoji_zipper_mouth::
The keyword in this article is “SOLD”.
The Sisu Circus Way:
“SOLD” applies to exiting bright young players
“FREE”, “RELEASED” and “UNWANTED” applies to incoming crocks
… and they wonder why everyone is turning NOPM. Ha!

Indeed.
This is few Ngandu clips player I mentioned.
Part of U18 squads when he was a U13. Played in most of 18s games this season, chance he'll get some involvement for the 23s this season too if he keeps it up

Why?

Could understand if he went to Chelsea or Manchester City but United have one of the best track records in England for involving youth

I agree completely, I meant why did he have 'no chance of ever playing in the first team'. We also have a very good record of bringing youth through into the first team.

Anybody have an idea what the fee is?

Not sure exactly. When Jadon Sancho went to Man City (now at Dortmund) from Watford it was for a fee rising up to 500k

... erm, Man U would take academy players from us at any point in our past and future...

They took one from Chelsea in the summer. Another one from PSG.
