Manchester United star Josh Harrop’s aunt calls MUTV after his debut goal at Old Trafford
Aunt Maxine called club channel post match phone-in to wax lyrical about her nephew who joined the club aged seven
MANCHESTER UNITED kid Josh Harrup had a day to remember, scoring on his first-team debut, then his aunt calls up MUTV waxing lyrical about his Old Trafford bow.
Harrop opened the scoring for United in the win over Crystal Palace to end the League campaign with a win, going into the Europa League final on Wednesday.
But Aunty Maxine was so proud of her nephew's exploits, she couldn't help herself and call up MUTV to show her pleasure
She said:"It was brilliant. I was there on Monday night watching his hat-trick[for the Reserves] and it was brilliant.
"All our family are chuffed today, all my family are there, they are all red.
“He has been there since he was seven. None of his family will forget it.”
Pundit and former United boss Ron Atkinson was in the studio and asked if he nephew was related to Bobby Harrup who played for United in the 1950s.
She simply replied:"No." which effectively ended Atkinson's line of questioning.
the 21-year-old is expected to sign a new deal, that will keep him at the club for another 12 months.
Harrup was due to become a free agent in the summer, after spending the whole season in the reserves, with no real sign of breaking into Mourinho's plans at any stage.
The United boss now turns his attention on the Europa League final in Sweden on Wednesday, a trophy the club have never won in their history.
A win in Stockholm against Ajax will see United qualify for the Champions League next season.
