Robinson signed for the U18s in the summer

Interesting - I thought young players couldn't sign a pro-contract before their 17th birthday? Does that only apply to players who are already in an Academy?

Just going off this, which says a 3 year pro deal - I imagine it's actually a 2 year scholarship with 1 year pro deal agreed

Be interesting to see the team - it'll be a major indication as to whether Rooney is planning for L1 or clinging to the hope of staying up.

Rooney will still want to field a decently strong team against United, considering we are bottom of the u23 league and really need points there.  It's a juggling act, i don't envy him for choices.

Out with a minor knee injury, expected to resume training next week.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that, I was hoping he was being rewarded for his recent performances in the U23’s. I must pay more attention. Thanks for putting me right though. ?
