    Another one to look for at Man United is Amir Ibragimov. He was born in Dagestan but moved to England when he was 11. He has 2 younger brothers also in the Man United academy and his older brother is an undefeated MMA fighter

    For Wolves you also could've mentioned Harry Birtwhistle, a Singaporean footballer who's had quite a bit of controversy with the Minister of Defence because he doesn't want to go back to Singapore to complete his 2 years of military service and actually tried to renounce his Singapore citizenship (but was rejected). There's also Jaami Qureshi who is English but is half-Iraqi half-Malaysian if I recall correctly and is regarded as a prospect by both countries. Lucas Scicluna is a Maltese U-18 footballer as well idk don't usually see footballers from Malta. But as an Indonesian Hubner has been pretty good compared to some of the defenders we had before so yeah.

    The craziest one has to be the russian Ibragimov family in the Man Utd academy!
    Amir Ibragimov is a 15 year old who is in the u18 team and have played with the U21 and U23! ( I heard that he has played with the first team but I don’t think it’s true).
    Sir Alex personally wanted to meet him after watching him play!
    His younger brother Gazir Ibragimov is a defender and plays with Kai Rooney (The son of Wayne) and has personally said that he is the toughest defender he has faced (he couldn’t think of anyone he played against so he chose Gazir from he’s own team)!
    The last brother is very young (named Muhammad) but signed from Man City’s academy in the summer which is nuts😅.
    And their oldest brother is actually a MMA fighter!
    The family is full of athletes!

    An interesting story about Sekularac, the reason why the president of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, didnt allow Sekularac to go was because he was so beloved by the people that they needed him to entertain the workingclass. They literally said he can have anything he wants but he cant leave. Theres a story afterwards that the great gypsy from Macedonia had so much money that he literally whipped his ass with money bills in the hotel he stayed. He was basically the Neymar of Yugoslavia that period

    The reason you see outrageously young players play for premier league teams is usually contractual. Most youth academy contracts say if they play a certain amount games for the senior team, then their contract automatically extends, so the club won’t have to go through renegotiations again

    you're being extremely unfair towards bogarde. He didn't sneak into the building... He signed a contract with the club that THEY negotiated and then THEY chose to go in a different direction a few weeks after. They sent him to train with the U21s and he was present every single day and available for selection. He honoured the contract. I have zero sympathy for the club in this situation (unlike sunderland and rodwell .. still they should have had appropriate clauses for relegation) Imagine if it was the other way around and a player in high demand said two weeks after signing their contract , I don't want to be here , and insisted that the club rip up his contract so he can be signed for free by another team. It would be ludicrous right ? the contract is there for a reason. Offload him to somewhere suitable ,use him or pay him off. Those are the options. Yes it is sport but it is also business.
