Young Man Utd star rejects bumper offer from Man City to stay at Old Trafford

Callum Gribbin is reported to have rejected Manchester City

MANCHESTER UNITED starlet Callum Gribbin has rejected a bumper offer from Manchester City, according to reports.

 

The Daily Mirror claim the 16-year-old was offered a contract worth £11,000 a week to move to the Etihad.

But he has opted to stay at Old Trafford and is hoping to force his way into the first team at United.

 

Gribbin has been compared with Ryan Giggs and has starred for the Under 18 team this season.

The attacking midfielder has also played for the Under 21s against City in the final game of the last campaign.

Coach Paul McGuiness told the club's official website: "Callum's a very talented player and the type English football does not have a lot of.

 

"He can keep the ball with people around him. He can manipulate it and give space for a creative pass. Also, he's waiting to look for a creative pass all the time too.

"Other parts of his game are improving as well, his work-rate is better and he’s winning the ball back better.

"He has had a dramatic rise really in this team and it’s really helped develop him to be forced into those situations."
