Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. At a young age he featured for local sides Edmonton Internationals and Edmonton Strikers before his talents sparked the interest of Vancouvers youth academy and development system, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency.It was there where Davies flourished, scoring six goals in 12 outings for the clubs development side at U16 level before hitting three goals in four appearances for the U18s.He then received international recognition with three call-ups to Canadas U15 team and one for the U18s.

After six substitute appearances under manager Carl Robinson, Davies has since gone on to start the Whitecaps last two MLS fixtures - against Colorado Rapids and Seattle Sounders, respectively.STYLEOperating predominantly on the left, Davies is a direct footballer who does not hesitate to take the game to the opposition. Keen to utilise his pace, he is known for his marauding runs from deep, often leaving a trail of defenders lying in his wake.

Charlie Nicholas offers his Premier League predictions Although he is yet to find the net in MLS competition, Davies was a ruthless finisher at youth level, where he developed a penchant for acrobatic celebrations.However, his inability to replicate his goal-scoring exploits may pay much to his current role in the Vancouver team, where his versatility across a number of positions has been utilised by manager Robinson.Despite this, Davies was still able to have an impact in his latest outing where his electric pace earned Vancouver a penalty in their 2-1 defeat to Seattle. The 15-year-old Alphonso Davies, a rumoured Manchester United target, showed exactly what hes capable of in Vancouvers defeat to Seattle. WHAT THEY SAIDAlphonso is a bright young player who has earned this opportunity, Vancouver manager Carl Robinson said, after handing him a new contract.He still has a lot of hard work ahead of him, but at this point in time we felt this was the best move for his development and for the club.This is another great example of our player pathway and we hope he will be the first of many players to make the next step.

And, given the inherent lack of out and out wingers at Old Trafford, its understandable why a player of Davies potential would come to the clubs attention.Of course, the gulf in class between the MLS and Premier League would rule out an immediate switch from Vancouver to Manchester, but having displayed the desire and will to improve at every stage of his career, whod bet against Davies flourishing if he were to take his next substantial step up?
