“I’m really excited about him.” Scholes said.
“Whenever I see him I’m impressed. I think he’s a superstar in the making. He’s so brave in possession. He’s very much the way Cristiano [Ronaldo] was as a young player.
“He doesn’t mind being kicked, he gets up, he goes for more he scores goals. He’s got a lot of growing to do and once he gets a manly body and physical strength, I don’t think there’s much stopping him.”
