Manchester United sign 17-year-old Belgian wonderkid

The Belgian-youth international was poached from Charlton Athletic.

Burundi-born youngster Largie Ramazani has signed his first professional contract at Manchester United after joining in the summer from Charlton Athletic. Scouts at the club were enamoured with the winger after catching him playing for Charlton's academy, so much so that he was offered a scholarship at Old Trafford. Just a month after turning 17, he has now been signed to his first professional deal. He has since impressed at the club, firing Kieran McKenna's under-18 side to the top of the Premier League North, scoring in both league games against title rivals Everton and notching the winner against Stoke City. Ramazani plays for Belgium at international level, having moved from Burundi when he was a child and joining the prolific Anderlecht youth set-up. After relocating to the UK he was soon spotted by Charlton, who quickly brought him into their schoolboy academy, which has most recently seen Liverpool's Joe Gomez and Everton's Ademola Lookman (on loan at RB Leipzig) come through the ranks. You can watch him absolutely disintegrate a defender with an elastico/flip-flap below, if you're into that sort of thing. Which, obviously, you are. Very much so. Why else would you be reading about a player who only finished his GCSEs last year? https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/976462192584380417 https://www.instagram.com/p/BbkfgsEDujT/?taken-by=lramazani.88 https://www.instagram.com/p/BZTyVDEjovU/?taken-by=lramazani.88 https://www.instagram.com/p/BL9iDyKjHG4/?taken-by=lramazani.88
