RVP's boy Shaqueel joins Darren Fletcher's son at Blues academy
RVP has become the latest star to send his young son to Manchester City’s academy.
It’s another startling internal snub for United in a difficult season – and a great boost for bitter rivals City. Van Persie sees his boy, Shaqueel, join the sons of United midfielder Darren Fletcher and coach Phil Neville at the Blues academy.
Neville’s youngster was at City while he was skipper at Everton.
But the decision by three high profile United figures to send their sons to City’s academy will surprise many.

Brilliant, what a slap in the face for the rags

But what are these academy's though? I always got thought you were picked by scouts? Or are these like training they pay to send their kids to?

Only have girls so I've no idea   

And we have Cole's lad too.

Just think his lad may have been scouted at a young age and he decided to let him go there.
