Manchester City flashed the cash in bid to prise young prospect away from Manchester United

The name Callum Gribbin might not mean much to you at this moment in time, but the 16-year-old is highly rated at Manchester United.

News of the youngster's talent also appears to have travelled across the city, with a report in the Sunday People claiming that Manchester City made an audacious attempt to land the attacking starlet. With his future in doubt over the summer, it's claimed that City were willing to offer him over £500,000 a year to swap red for blue. Before City could prise the youngster away from United's grasp, Louis van Gaal and Ryan Giggs are said to have spoken to the schoolboy and persuaded him to sign a deal to remain with the Old Trafford club.
