Callum Gribbin ● THE NEXT GIGGSY? ● 2015

CALLUM GRIBBIN THE NEXT GIGGSY?

Many people are going viral over 16 year old Callum Gribbin who plays for Manchester United's academy. You might know him from goal of the month at Manutd.com, he's on their literally every month, swinging in those free kicks, but I never knew he was only 16!

Many YouTubers are posting compilations after compilation of this youngster, gaining hundreds upon thousands of views. He's a left footed creative midfielder with fast feet and the ability to fly past a player. He has also represented England's U16 and U17's where his coach was Kenny Swain who said this: "Not many kids can deal with him or want to deal with him. He just sends them away and makes them look foolish. He leaves me breathless.

The Manchester United youth academy is growing. Just recently Manchester United announced the signing of 17 year old DJ Buffonge, these are future stars in the making.

ANTHONY MARTIAL INJURED?

Anthony Martial destroying the English defence
After the International Friendly and solidarity between France and England, Anthony Martial left the Wembley arena with crutches and a bandage to his foot and ankle after France's defeat to England. He played 67 minutes for the French side before being substituted by Antoine Griezmann. This week-end Manchester United face Watford, before then Anthony Martial will get a scan on the injury. However the French Coach, Didier Deschamps, described the problem as just a knock, although the 19 year old was in some discomfort as the striker was kicked in the penalty area. Hopefully everything will be alright.

COULD HAVE GONE LIVERPOOL - JESSE LINGARD

In a recent interview with Jesse Lingard and Manchester United, Jesse Lingard revealed his story in how he joined Manchester United.

At that time Jesse Lingard was playing for a local team, Penketh United and a United scout came to watch him. The scout spoke to his Grandad and offered him a trial at Manchester United however Liverpool were also interested. And of course he made a very wise decision in choosing the glorious Manchester United - the best decision of his life.

Today Jesse Lingard is called up to represent England as they face France in an International Friendly. If Jesse Lingard played for Liverpool, I don't think there'll be much hype about the overrated Raheem Sterling.

ADNAN JANUZAJ TO RETURN TO OLD TRAFFORD?

There's some speculation that Adnan Januzaj could return back to Old Trafford. Louis Van Gaal has admitted that Manchester United need "speed and creativity." One option is to bring back Adnan Januzaj to fit that role in attack.

 The young belgian who is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund has made only nine appearances and seven of them were for coming on as a substitute. However many think that if he were to return, he might get even less game time. But from looking at how Louis Van Gaal has previously used Adnan by playing him in that Number 10 role, he would add more depth in attack. And i would rather put him up front than Mr Wayne Rooney to be honest!

Manchester United are struggling in attack, if it weren't for a late penalty against West Brom over the weekend it would have been another 1-0 win. Manchester United desperately need an attacker even if it's to bring back one on loan. Feel free to comment some players you would like to see attacking at Manchester United.

ROY KEANE UNIMPRESSED BY DIVE

I really wanted to edit out the ref's face to Roy Keane with his beard but I can't edit! Any tips?
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane after Ashley Young diving repeatedly.

On Tuesday Ashley Young dived yet again against CSKA Moscow in order to request a penalty but the ref wasn't interested either. Roy Keane has been questioning whether Young has the credentials to represent the football club calling him "an absolute disgrace." And of all people Paul Scholes had more to add saying to BT Sport: "Ashley needs to stop doing this. He knows himself, but it's just a habit and he can't get rid of it."

 However before Ashley's dive, Wayne Rooney and Ander Herrera forced a similar somersault or remark yet no criticism. Racism by the Manchester United legends? In my opinion diving to save your team from dropping in the group stages of the Champions League,
i'm fine with it. Ashley Young is not the only player to dive, of course there's others such as Arjen Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez. So I think the criticism from everyone especially the Manchester United legends are biased and are truly unfair. I honestly think it's dedication!

MANCHESTER UNITED & LIVERPOOL BATTLE FOR YOUNG GEM

Manchester United and Liverpool are battling it out for young Danish sensation Emre Mor.
According to Sami Mokbel of the MailOnline the 18 year old has grabbed the attention of two clubs from the Premier League from his classy performance for FC Nordsjaelland.

In fact, just recently he created an assist and scored a goal leading his team to victory in the Danish U19 final. Many "big" clubs are also interested in the player including Ajax and Borussia Dortmund are in the radar, but of course out of the clubs interested, Manchester United are the only Big team. Manchester United have a long- held reputation for giving young prospects a chance. "Since October 1937, that is 3,763 consecutive first team games, one youth player starts and one on the bench," -@mrmujac.

The question is, if we are to sign Emre Mor, would he be another Wilfried Zaha, Paul Pogba, or an Anthony Martial? Don't forget to follow me on my social media on the left of the page, to subscribe to the new newsletter and the cool Manchester United merch at the bottom left!
