Man Utd's academy is the heartbeat of the club and the Reds have added promising talent James Overy to their ranks.
The Manchester Evening News reported last month that United had offered Overy a scholarship deal and the club were 'hopeful' he would decide to join the academy.As a first-year scholar, Overy is expected to feature for United's Under-18s next season and will be hopeful of making a debut at Old Trafford in the next few years.
After arriving in England, Overy played for Newton Abbot Spurs' first team, but he'd been subject to Premier League interest since catching the eye playing for Perth Glory's senior side in a pre-season friendly against West Ham last summer when he was aged just 15. The young talent is set to move from Devon to Manchester after accepting his scholarship, turning down interest from other Premier League clubs like West Ham, Everton and Leicester.
