Rochdale FC 16-year-old Daniel Adshead is turning Jose Mourinho's and Manchester United’s heads with a rumored $1.31 million transfer deal.

After lifting the 2018 World Cup with one of the youngest squads at the tournament (average age of just 26), there’s been a growing fear that France could turn a bit tyrannical at the international level.
