Despite all the recent rumours, Neymar to Manchester United appears unlikely.

Slightly more unlikely is the prospect of the Brazil and Barcelona star pitching up at League of Ireland Premier Divsion 1 side Limerick FC.

Of course, he won't be signing for the Munster club but they've signed a younger doppleganger to their U17 ranks by the name of Barry Cotter, who has previously played for Avenue United and Ennis Town:
