The Man City star was appealing for budding footballers to sign up for their chance to represent the nation at the final in France this summer.

The Danone Nations Cup, whose global ambassador is legendary French footballer Zinedine Zidane, is in its eighth year and has become the world's biggest football tournament for girls and boys aged 10-12, bringing together 2.5 million competitors from 40 different countries.
Online registration is now open and aspiring footballers can enter at www.danonenationscup.co.uk.

Hopefuls will have the chance to show off their skills in front of top coaches at the regional trials, held in eight different locations across England - including Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. Those selected at the regional finals will go into the UK final where Team England will be crowned before travelling to France in September to take part in the world final, at the Parc des Princes stadium.

Micah said: "The Danone Nation's Cup is a great opportunity for kids to represent their country – I only wish it was around when I was growing up. It's a great way to encourage kids to participate in sport and I want to urge as many people as possible to register."
