Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke raves about 'magical' Socceroos youngster Garang Kuol - and explains how Australia can make it out of the World Cup group stage

Dwight Yorke has lavished praise on Newcastle United wonderkid Garang Kuol, with the Manchester United legend unable to contain his excitement about the 'magical' Socceroos young gun.

Macarthur FC boss Yorke played a small part in Kuol's sensational arrival in senior football, giving him a cameo against Barcelona for the A-League All Stars, which he grasped with both hands.

His exceptional performance helped convince Premier League outfit Newcastle to shell out just under £300,000 (AU$515,000) on the 18-year-old, and Yorke is convinced the teenager will go to the very top.
