Bournemouth goalkeeper Callan McKenna revealed how a Zoom call convinced him to join the club.

On deadline day in the winter, McKenna left Queen's Park in Scotland for the Cherries.

At the time, he could have moved to Manchester United, but was convinced by Simon Francis and Neil Moss to move to Bournemouth.

On joining this past winter, the 17-year-old told club's official matchday program: A 15-minute Zoom call with (assistant technical director) Simon Francis and (head of goalkeeping) Neil Moss.

I traveled to Manchester and met the people from Manchester United the day before deadline day.

That night, I had the Zoom call and was invested in coming here.

The following morning, the guys from United came to take me to the training ground and I told them it wasn't what I wanted.

They tried their best to persuade me, but I wanted to come here."
