According to reports in Holland and the players twitter account, we have signed this youngster from the famed Ajax academy. His name is Gyliano van Velzen, and is a tall lanky left winger. Welcome aboard kid.

He looks so unnatural, and how tall is he? Anyway looks a good player.

Looks like a tidy player, but meh! He's only 16 so we'll see in a few years.

i know we shouldnt look too much into videos of players online, but he already looks like he has the skills most decent modern grown up players do. how old is he?
He has strength, skill, height, speed, technique, vision. How old is he???

Our future midfield is shaping up nicely. Stick him on the left, Pogba and Morrison in the centre and a talent to be poached at a later date on the right and we are set  |

I think I read somewhere that this is actually made up by the player.

I think I read somewhere that this is actually made up by the player. I read on another United blog that the club have confirmed it, but no announcement had been made yet. What a weird thing to do if that turns out to be the case. |

Maybe not, think it has been confirmed. There had been some doubt as to whether this was legit. Good skill in the vid.

#MUFC confirm they have signed Gyliano van Velzen, 16, Dutch youth international, from Ajax academy (as flagged up by @manunitedyouth)
This is from Daniel Taylor's (guardian writer) twitter.
