Manchester United prospect Louis Jackson is determined to make the most of his chance at Old Trafford.
For the FA Youth Cup final win against Nottingham Forest, the Scotland U17 international showed composure on the ball, as well as a calming presence in the backline.
An avid United fan growing up, Jackson is set to have a bright future in the game.
Earlier this season, he became their youngest ever youth player when he played for the Under 23s at the age of 15.
"(Technical director) Darren Fletcher has been a big help for me. He's a really nice guy and he makes a point of always talking to me," he said.
"He's always asking me if there is anything I need or any help he can give me.
"Just before I left to come out to Israel with Scotland he pulled me aside and had a quick chat and wished me all the best. He said he would be watching us.
"He had an amazing career with Manchester United and with Scotland. Any advice he can give me is a big help. He's a man I look up to and he's a great role model for the younger players like me."
Jackson added: "The Youth Cup win was a magical night. It was massive for the whole of the Manchester United Academy and I can't thank the fans enough for the support they gave us.
"It's hard to put to words how incredible it was. For me, it was the stuff of dreams.
"To play in front of 70,000 shows just how big the Academy is at the club."
