Michael Johnston`s talent is there for all to see, and recently a highlight reel has been doing the rounds on Twitter showing off his skills.
The 18 year old has been performing well in the UEFA Youth League this season, and his close control really is excellent. Have a look below:

Verdict:
Michael has a really promising future at the club. He performed very well against the likes of Bayern Munich and Anderlecht for the Under 18s in the first half of the season, and he was rewarded with a few appearances for the first team.
We have a lot of options on the flanks, and it will be interesting to see what the manager does with him next season. He will need game time at senior level to progress further. I`m hoping he gets his chance here rather than having to go out on loan. Brendan is known for bringing through youngsters, and hopefully when the time is right Michael will get his chance to shine for the first team.
