James Overy is a full-back who plays for Manchester United at youth level and who has caught the eye of first-team head coach Ruben Amorim. He has represented both Australia and Scotland at international level, while he is also eligible to represent England.
The teenage defender received scholarship offers from Everton, Leicester, and West Ham but opted to join Manchester United and relocated to Manchester in the process. Although the deal to join United was accepted in June 2024, he had to wait until September 2024 for the move to be made official after a FIFA investigation stated he could not join another club until 16 weeks after he had initially signed for Newton Abbot Spurs.
