PROD was removed by article creator with no reason given; the creation of this article was said user's first edit. The subject in question is probably a hoax - there are precisely zero Google hits for "Aaron akers manchester united" - and even if he does exist, he fails WP:N and WP:ATHLETE.

 * Delete - obvious total and utter bollocks. Apart from the total lack of sources for something that was supposedly announced at a press conference, Manchester United are not exactly short of players, it is beyond implausible that their response to Rooney's suspension would be to sign an unknown 17-year-old and stick him straight into the first team for a vital match in an extremely closely-fought race for the Premier League title -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:36, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The whole article reeks of BS - either that or a dairy farm has just passed outside my office window. For example, why would an English team pay their players in dollars, not pounds? Why would Ryan Giggs use the American way of saying dates (April 5th) instead of the British way (5th of April, or April the 5th)? And why does such an exciting prospect appear nowhere on the club's website? Bettia   (bring on the trumpets!)  11:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've just noticed this brilliant line - "But for April 5ths (sic) match there is no pressure, hes (sic) here to replace Rooney" - good to know that attempting to replace Wayne Rooney in the Man U team is a "no-pressure" job :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:21, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete It sounds like it was written by a publicist for a press release. 67.79.157.50 (talk) 14:06, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
