From rednews.co.uk:
Freddy Adu the 14-year-old superstar
"I would love to end up in England some day playing for Manchester United or a team like that. I've loved them ever since I was a baby. I am aware I am being tracked and I am very excited by that. When a big team like Manchester United knows about me, then you have to been doing something good for them to notice you."

Here's what he really means:
"I would love to end up in England some day playing for Manchester United... [but Chelsea have offered me 4 times as much money, so I think I'll sign there]."

We'll just have to wait and see who's winning what when he turns 17 or so...

"The contract is for six years. We'll see after that," Adu told me Thursday. "It has always been a dream of mine to play in the British Premier League for a team like Manchester United."

British... so, Celtic and Rangers are joining after all? :D
Actually I kind of doubt Adu made that mistake. He was likely misquoted. Later in the article, the writer himself refers to Birmingham City as a "British" club. Another case of "UK=Britain=England". :rolleyes:
