Reports in England claim that Manchester United bosses are on a mission to unearth more homegrown talent.

And they want to pinch promising kids right from under the noses of their southern rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.

Iconic star David Beckham began his career playing football as a kid for Ridgeway Rovers in Chingford, London.

And now the club is looking for a scout to operate down south to find more footballing gems.

The club have placed an advertisement on its website looking for an expert to find players aged 12-18 they can sign for the academy side.

And the role also includes occasional international travel to watch exciting new prospects overseas.
