He joined the club after a short trial and quickly became one of the rising stars of his year group which included Sanchez Watt and Jack Wilshire.As a 15year old schoolboy, Manny as he is affectionately called, captained the Under 18s side and made his first team debut in a friendly against Huddersfield in the summer of 2008.
Speaking to your authoritative blog, Yaw Frimpong said:
“I am coming to Ghana this summer to see my family in Kumasi”.
Manny has represented England as a teenager but declared in February 2010 that his international future lies with Ghana. He won youth international honours for England but despite spending a decade in England, his heart remains with his homeland.
“I have always said that, no matter what, I will always play for Ghana because at the end of the day, from what I believe, I am a Ghanaian.”
“England has done a lot for me and my family but at the end of the day I can’t see myself playing for England because I am not English. I am from Ghana.”
Speaking on his chances in the Black stars team, Yaw Frimpong said:
“With players like Essien and Muntari, I don’t think I’ve got any chance at the moment!”, he smiled.
“But hopefully, you never know in the future, I might get a chance.”
