Manchester United face Preston in the FA Youth Cup tomorrow evening.

I imagine Godwill Kukonki started this week hoping he would play given he was a substitute in the last round when United hammered Coventry.

The 16-year-old Stoke-on-Trent-born defender could well be involved at Leigh.

But before that, he has to do bench duties tonight and, who knows, maybe even make his first-team debut.

It’s crazy to think that he was born in April 2008. The first English manager of his life was Fabio Capello.
