Max Dowman likened to former Man United legend, 'he's a bit of a freak'

Max Dowman continues to receive high praise amid the 15 year old’s soaring potential at Arsenal.

Dowman dazzled during Arsenal’s pre-season and has made three appearances for the first team this season alongside numerous inclusions in matchday squads.

If he makes an appearance in the competition, Dowman could become the youngest ever player in the Champions League.

The Gunners have won both their opening matches in the Champions League and sit top of the Premier League table during the international break following Arsenal’s 2-0 win over West Ham.

As per the Daily Mail, [10 October], a secret scout has drawn comparisons between Dowman and a young Wayne Rooney.

“He’s the best player England has produced since Wayne Rooney,” a scout said.

“When you can play at this level right now at 15, he’s younger than Rooney was (when he broke through) and Rooney was more of a man physically than Max.
