MEN sport spoke to Southport FC’s Youth Administrator Chris Baumber about 19-year-old Drew Lewis, who's performances have attracted the attention of the Premier League big hitters.

6. United have had him training “seven days a week, including Saturday and Sunday” in order to bring his fitness up to the required level.
