Ryan Tunnicliffe has been at Manchester United since he was nine-years-old, having grown up just over 10 miles away from Old Trafford. When he joined the club, his dad put a £100 bet on that he would one day play for the first team.

Tunnicliffe has made his way up through the ranks at the club and won the Jimmy Murphy Player of the Year in 2011, an award previously won by the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Wes Brown and Danny Welbeck.

Tonight, he replaced Vermiji with just over ten minutes to go, pocketing his dad £10,000!
