#4 Callum Gribbin

Callum Gribbin
Gribbin is excellent from set-pieces

Gribbin, who has been nicknamed ‘English Messi’ has the skills and guile to dart past defences. The 17-year old, born in Salford, has sublime control with the ball at his feet and has the confidence to take on defenders.

Gribbin has quick feet and a bag of tricks to beat defenders with ease – traits similar to another Manchester United legend, Ryan Giggs. The youngster is highly-rated in Manchester and made his U-23 debut at the tender age of 16.

The attacking midfielder can play in the right of midfield or as a striker, and has also been played in a central midfield role. Gribbin is also a free-kick specialist and can hit the dead ball sweetly. Gribbin, like Gomes, will mostly play in the U-18s but may also feature in the U-23s this year.

Silky skills, quick and an eye for goal, Gribbin ticks all the boxes that Manchester United fans love in a player.
