14-year-old American makes MLS debut - Man City sign him ahead of schedule

Cavan Sullivan, a rising star midfielder, just 14 years old, has become the youngest player of all time to play in a Major League Soccer MLS game in the United States after coming on as a substitute in the Philadelphia Union game on Thursday morning, Thai time. However, clubs have given up hope when the player has already become the property of Manchester City in advance.

The United States MLS played its 24th match this morning, with Philadelphia Union beating New England 5-1 at home, marking their return to winning ways after a decade of no league wins.

But the more important point is that in the last 5 minutes of this https://ufabet999.app

game, coach Jim Curtin sent in a substitute, young American midfielder Kevan Sullivan, to the field. Although he did not perform, he made a record for playing in an MLS game at the age of only 14 years and 293 days.

Sullivan broke the record set by former American soccer prodigy Freddy Adu, with Sullivan playing 13 days faster than Adu.

It has also been revealed that Manchester City have already signed a pre-contract to tie Sullivan down to move to England when the player turns 18, but he could move to a Sky Blues network team sooner than that in about two years from now with teams like Girona in Spain, Troyes in France, Palermo in Italy or Lommel in Belgium to gain experience before moving to Manchester City.

For Sullivan, who was born on September 28, 2009, he has already made five appearances for the United States under-15s. The Philadelphia Union also has Sullivan, Kevan’s 20-year-old brother, Quinn.
