A young Man Utd player is being called up for the Gibraltar national team for the first time.

James Scanlon, a young and promising player for Manchester United, has caught the attention of fans and coaches alike with his impressive performances. At just 17 years old, he has already received his first call-up to the Gibraltar national team, showcasing his talent and potential on the international stage.

Scanlon's journey began in the youth ranks at Derby County, but it wasn't long until he caught the eye of the Red Devils and was signed by them. Since then, he has continued to develop and impress while playing for United's U18s and U21s teams. His hard work and dedication have now been rewarded as he was named in Gibraltar's latest squad for their upcoming matches against Lithuania in the Nations League.

The news of Scanlon's call-up has been met with excitement and pride from Manchester United fans, who have taken to social media to express their support for the young midfielder. "Wishing him the best in his career," one fan posted on Twitter, while another added, "Congratulations to James Scanlon, it will be a great experience for the youngster."

Despite being eligible to represent England, Scanlon has chosen to play for Gibraltar, where he has already made a name for himself by scoring two goals in his debut for their U17s team. He has also been impressive at the club level, scoring four goals in just nine games for United's U18s team, according to Transfermarkt data.

Scanlon's talent and potential have drawn comparisons to other successful graduates from United's youth academy, such as Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, who have gone on to break into the first team under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag.

As Scanlon continues to make strides in his career, fans are eagerly awaiting his development and potential impact on the first team at Manchester United. With his impressive skills and determination, there is no doubt that he will continue to make a name for himself on both the national and international stage.
