He (read: Man Utd) probably did, it's not like youngsters with that level of talent suddenly appear out of nowhere at 17. I would imagine there are ten year olds out there who have been watched by all of the big six for example. Every kid who is in an academy in this country is on the EP3 database, which can be searched by everyone who works in a FA affiliated academy, so a 7 year old who scores 100 goals for Crawley Town U8's will pop up on the radar. That database is also something the FA want to roll out to a grassroots level nationally, so if a scout spots 'Smith' who plays for Wyrley looks useful, they don't even have to come and talk to me, they can get the parent's details straight off the database.
