A FORMER Manchester United star who played for a minute in Marcus Rashford's Premier League debut now shoots his shot in Slovakia.<\/p>\n
James Weir was once in the ranks at Old Trafford but has seen his career take an\u00a0unexpected turn to Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old midfielder spent eight years at United, graduating from the academy in 2014.<\/p>\n
Born in Preston, he began his career as a youth player with\u00a0Preston North End\u00a0and then joined the\u00a0Red Devils academy in 2008.<\/p>\n
He only made one appearance for Man Utd's first team and it happened to be the same game superstar Marcus Rashford debuted in.<\/p>\n
Weir made his professional debut on February 28th 2016 in a 3\u20132\u00a0Premier League\u00a0victory at home to\u00a0Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The forgotten star came on as an injury-time sub for\u00a0Ander Herrera.<\/p>\n While Weir only secured just one minute of playing time, fellow team-mate Rashford started, scored and made two assists.<\/p>\n The England ace has gone on to score 124 goals in 369 appearances for United.<\/p>\n In contrast, Weir ended up at Hull in 2016 after failing to breakthrough into Man Utd's first team.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n He then spent the second half of the 2016\u201317 term on loan to\u00a0Wigan Athletic. <\/p>\n After returning, his appearances for Hull were sporadic, and he left for\u00a0Bolton Wanderers\u00a0in 2019. <\/p>\n Then less than six months with the Trotters, he was released and soon made a move out of the UK to Slovak club\u00a0FK Pohronie. <\/p>\n He played there for 18 months before moving south to Hungary to play for\u00a0MTK Budapest, before being released a year later.<\/p>\n Weir then returned to Slovakia this summer and signed for Nike Liga giants Zlate Moravce.<\/p>\n<\/picture>CANT COMPARE <\/span><\/p>\n
