The Chance UK Winners Put Through Rio Ferdinand’s Boot Camp

After clearing the UK Final and being confirmed as one of the three best young undiscovered players in the UK, The Chance UK finalists head to Manchester...

Liam Baker [forward], Jose Figura [midfielder] and Ashleigh Artwell [midfielder] can claim to be the three best undiscovered football talents in the UK after beating more than 5,000 players to reach the Global Final of The Chance. Spotted by Nike scouts including Chris Smalling before reaching the final where they were selected by a panel of experienced coaches, ex-pros and Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, the boys will represent the UK at The Chance Global Final in Barcelona next week. If you haven't seen the video from the UK Final, it's well worth your time.

With Barcelona in their sights, Liam, Jose and Ashleigh were invited up to Manchester for Rio's Boot Camp where they were kitted-out by Nike, given priceless advice and coaching from staff at Manchester United and invited to taste the footballer's lifestyle before heading to Europe to represent the UK in The Chance Global Final.

We've heard extremely positive things about the futures of the boys, and have got our fingers crossed for them as they head to Barcelona to compete from August 19-25. Watch the video from their time at Rio's Boot Camp below.
