He was also over at Manchester United last week and we are awaiting some feedback from them. Coran has been with Cliftonville's academy since the age of six, progressing through the ranks at Solitude and currently features for the North Belfast club's Under 15 side.
"There are clubs out there who want Coran, but you would wonder if some of them have the kid's best interests at heart. There is no doubt he will have offers to move across the water when he turns 16. "There is a pathway there and we will continue working hard for our players, including Coran. We are excited by what the future holds for this kid and he deserves every success he gets.
