Man United call up 15-year-old schoolboy Harrison Parker for their FA Youth Cup tie against Scunthorpe, with the former Arsenal academy star regarded as one of the best defenders of his age

Manchester United have called up highly-rated 15-year-old schoolboy Harrison Parker to their squad for tonight's FA Youth Cup tie with Scunthorpe United.

The young centre-back left Arsenal's academy in the summer and had a number of clubs chasing his signature but ultimately chose to join United after being invited for a training spell and a tournament in Northern Ireland.

Regarded as one of the best defenders of his age group, Parker has also been capped at England U16 level and United have high hopes of him creating a top flight career for himself.
