macheda and welbeck will be man u's next stars. some how though i have a feeling when he gets older a club like real madrid will buy him and macheda will have to say yes cus they will pay him so high.

Yes of course he can at Palace 2 seasons ago I think it was they had a 15 year old playing so he hadn't even finished school!

The interesting thing, is that yes, he can play and sign pro forms. However, until he reaches 18, he is still governed by the child protection laws of the FA! I'm pretty sure it is 18 in terms of child protection. It was something we learned in level 1 coaching course.

sure rooney was only 16 when he started for everton and freddy adu played for d.c united when he was 14
RE: Can macheda play legally at 17 ? - Noucamp99 - 03-09-2009
it's all true. They simply have to respect the FA child protection laws, which include the amount of playing time, as well as accommodation, travelling, etc. Yup, even as young as 14. I think that is the youngest permissible, though.
