Ashley Young's son, Tyler, has become the latest offspring of a Manchester United player to sign up for a rival club, having joined Arsenal.
Last month, it was revealed both Robin van Persie's son, Shaqueel, and Phil Neville's lad, Harvey, had joined Manchester City's academy, where one of Darren Fletcher's boys is also based.
And now Young's nine-year-old son, Tyler, has put pen to paper with the Gunners.
Young senior grew up an Arsenal fan, and despite joining United nearly three years ago he has not dissuaded his child from joining his boyhood club.
The winger's partner, Nicky Kelly Pike, posted a picture of Tyler inking his contract on Twitter.
