It's a famous football path trodden by David Beckham and Marcus Rashford among countless other Manchester United youngsters.
The trip over the Irish Sea to Ballymena for the Milk Cup, now called the Super Cup, has been a breeding ground for many a United prospect. The Reds are regular visitors to the prestigious tournament.
For Ondrej Mastny, a young Old Trafford goalkeeper, he was given a reminder of the tournament that secured him a move to Manchester in 2016 earlier this term when he visited with current club Portadown. "I remembered the ground!" he said, speaking to the Manchester Evening News.

The stopper is on loan in Northern Ireland and is relishing regular game time and men’s football.
The 21-year-old is focusing on the present rather than the future after a couple of injury-hit campaigns somewhat halted his progress. The Czech Republic man featured regularly for United on their run to the FA Youth Cup semi-finals in the Covid-impacted 2020 season. He was part of senior squads under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and travelled to games against Norwich City and Wolves as third choice, participating in warm-ups.
It gave the youngster a taste of the first team, with whom he’s trained at regular intervals during his United career. Some of his youth team contemporaries have made the breakthrough, Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga among them. Following in their footsteps is the ultimate aim but Mastny isn’t concerning himself with the long term just now.
“It’s different in my position,” said the keeper. "They usually go league by league and step by step, unless you are someone like Donnarumma. But it is great to see them (Garnacho and Elanga) playing. There is a pathway.”
