Remember the 16-year-old who scored for Rochdale against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup? "I was on the bus on the way to school the next morning with my mates," Matheson recalled after his Old Trafford heroics. He said being remembered as the teenager who scored against Manchester United is something he is proud of, not ashamed by. Some players will dream about moments like that and I'm lucky that I got one at such a young age. I've been around different clubs, different experiences, different managers, different changing rooms."
