MANCHESTER UNITED have snapped up highly-rated centre-back Harrison Parker following his summer exit from Arsenal.
The 15-year-old impressed during his trial for the Red Devils which saw him feature for their youth side in Northern Ireland.
And United have now handed the teenager a contract, with Parker taking to social media to show him signing his deal.
He even uploaded a picture of him holding up the United shirt with his name and No5 on the back.
In an Instagram post, he said: “Excited to have officially signed for Manchester United.
“The new chapter starts and the hard work continues.”
Parker also thanked the Gunners after calling time on his nine-year spell in North London.
The England youth international remarked: “After nine brilliant years at Arsenal I have finally decided to end my journey with them as it’s time for a new chapter.
“I am grateful for all the time and experiences they have given me to help me become the player I am today. Those memories will last forever.
“Also, [I would] like to say a thank you to all the staff and coaches that have helped me on my journey so far. Forever grateful.”
