Man Utd swoop for Ireland's 'new Ryan Giggs'
Manchester United have completed the signing of the much-sought after Republic of Ireland teenager Robert Brady.
The 16-year-old winger joins from North Dublin club St Kevins Boys after Sir Alex Ferguson beat off competition from several rival Premier League sides chasing the youngster, who will move to United later this year.
St Kevins Football Director Ken O'Donoghue says United had beaten all of their main rivals to the addition of the Republic of Ireland Under 16 player, who he likened to a current Red Devils superstar.
"All the top clubs were after Robbie," O'Donoghue told setantasports.com.
"You could name any one of fifteen of the top Premier League teams and we've had invitations from them.
"He has gone on trials with Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as West Brom and a couple of other teams.
"He 's a lively wide player. A lot of people have compared him to Liam Brady, but he's more a Ryan Giggs type of player, a fast out and out winger." -
Every new kid on the block is a new 'this' and new 'that' but few can live up to that hype. If this chap is the new Giggs, I wonder why he still have to go for so many trials with other clubs. If I recall, Ryan Giggs didn't need any trial before he was signed up.

to be fair, he is already at an age (16) where most things should be evident, unlike a 12-13 yrs old where they may still go off-track.
Rooney was already well-known when he was 16..
also, this guy will have the perfect mentors in ROnaldo, Giggs in mentors. -
lol finally?
been hearing his name since last season. -
Richardson also was tipped to be the next Giggs when he graduated from the academy.
