Having captained the Under 18s to FA Cup glory in front of 67,000 fans at Old Trafford last week, Manchester United defender Rhys Bennett has sampled a taste of the big time and is hungry for more of the same.
The former Stalybridge Celtic Juniors player, who attended Russell Scott Primary School as a youngster, opened the scoring to help United to a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the FA Youth Cup final.
It was a dream come true for the 18-year-old, who is now on a mission to establish himself as a key figure at Old Trafford in the not-too-distant future.
During his visit to Russell Scott, we spoke to him about the following topics:
- FA Cup success
- Sacrifices he's made to earn a professional contract
- The support from family and friends over recent years
- Aims and objectives for the future
- Why Cristiano ROnaldo is his idol
