Peterborough United have not invited a former Manchester City Academy player for a trial, despite reports to the contrary in the Sun newspaper.

It would have been a huge step up in standard for striker Charlie Glennon (21) who currently plays for South Liverpool in the North West Counties Football League First Division North.

That’s a level two divisions below Northern Premier Midlands Division club Spalding United.

Glennon has scored 10 goals for South Liverpool, a former club of old LIverpool forward John Aldridge, this season.

But Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony told the PT this morning he had ‘never heard’ of the player.
