The Clarets confirmed that their latest signing is eligible to play international football for four countries, namely United

matches contested by the newly crowned European champions including the showpiece against Portugal.

The 18-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year deal with Burnley that will keep him at Turf Moor until the end of the

2026-2027 season.
