Former Manchester United prodigy Callum Gribbin has been forced to fundraise to avoid postponing surgery on a devastating knee injury which could end his career.
The attacking midfielder, 24, spent over a decade on the Red Devils' books after joining as a child and drew comparisons to Ryan Giggs as he rose through the academy ranks. He announced himself to the Old Trafford faithful while playing for United's under-13s at Edwin van der Sar's testimonial, shining against Ajax in an exhibition fixture.
Due to his precocious dribbling ability and wand of a left foot, Gribbin was likened to club legend Giggs and even impressed Jose Mourinho during his time as United manager. However, he was released in 2019 after injuries hampered his progress and subsequently joined Sheffield United, Barrow and Radcliffe.
