Callum Gribbing, the Salford-born 17-year-old is one of the brightest prospects to come out of Carrington. However, the supremely talented Gribbin has been unlucky after suffering an injury that cut short his 2015/16 season.

During the UEFA Youth League last season, Gribbin added a defensive side to his game, which was aplenty with silky skills.

Earlier this season, in August, Gribbin scored a brilliant solo goal against Barcelona in the Otten Cup, marking his return from the long injury. Unfortunately, he suffered another injury soon after and is only back in training with the Under-18 side.

Although there are some complaints regarding his attitude, the free-kick specialist will be looking to put all criticism aside and prove his worth when he gets back to playing for the U-18s with this being the last season for him in the academy.
