Controversial teenage signing doeswell, as youngsters crash to Crewe

After gaining official permission from FIFA to register former Le Havre starlet Paul Progba as a Manchester United player, the French teenager made an outstanding debut in an otherwise flat performance by the Academy team against Crewe.

Progba played in midfield, although he is considered to be a central defender and impressed with his range of passing, as well as his determination. The tall, athletic youngster also caught the eye with an impressive free-kick from 25 yards out, which hit the woodwork.

I certainly hope he fulfills his potential and proves to be worth the hassle and bad press.
