It's no coincidence that the club is named after two United legends Darren Fletcher and John Moss.
On a more serious point, does their website claim to have had Lingard on their books? If so, it must be affiliated to United, else why would junior players from as far afield as Warrington be travelling to play for a junior club in Manchester?
David Horrocks mobile number is on the website, ring him up and ask him :)I can't see any mention of Lingard being on their books but this is how the write up of "players to make the grade" starts.......
Fletcher Moss Rangers have been producing top quality players for some time now. Our very first player to ‘Make the Grade’ was Wes Brown who trialled at Manchester City, only to be told he was not good enough for them.
I don't believe for one minute young players who have trialled and failed for any club are told this.

Unsuccessful players are told that they aren't what the clubs looking for at the moment and to keep trying, playing,practicing.
its a dirty old world youth football and some parents are pimping out there kids to the best offer
manchester is not the hot bed of youth that it once was and the kids are just not getting the right to play football from schools or on the street or the park it just does not happen and the football pitches are not there even the local councils don't care they sold of most of the green fields to private homes and flats
for me football clubs like city and united and the other clubs should not be allowed to take kids to they are 12 or 13 give them time to know what growing up is all about and get them back on the street or parks just mixing with other kids at different ages and not coach the skills out of them let the young lads find something by eye watching and doing what some other lads are doing with a ball and feel free to do it games its the only way you learn is by eye and watching
in Brazil they still have beach football its very big part in youth football and street football is also a big part of kids life just letting them find a level and enjoying the game and no pressure just fun i think that's missing from the youth setup in england its big business and money that can not be right for kids to get involved in at a early age
Is that the same Brazil where they third party own the young players?
