    Try telling your son Utd or City want to sign you or you could sign for little old Barnsley

    As a coach of a kids team you'd be surprised, it's the parents that push it.

    Who cares, as long as he's contributing and involved in the coaching side that's all that matters.

    He nearly pulled it out of the bag in the 2nd leg to be fair to him, gave it a good go.

    If it was my lad I'd just point out to him that he could spend years at somewhere like United or City and never get near the first team or like John Stone Jude Bellingham he could sign for a smaller club get a chance at the first team at 16 /18 and get a move to a bigger club as a first team player. The big club like City, United and Chelsea should have limits put on the size of their academies to prevent them hoovering up talented kids who then get lost in their systems and never see the first team before being binned and in some cases lost to football.

    Rightly proud of his lad, if you can't dream big at 16 when can you!?

    The impression I get is that he doesn't want to. Seems to very much enjoy the coaching/assistant role.
