Blades prospect Ben Starosta says that he can't wait for this summer's FIFA U20 World Cup after making his international debut for Poland.
The Sheffield-born youngster, who qualifies for Poland through his Grandfather, played the full 90 minutes of a 1-1 draw in a friendly with Jordan in Amman.
Right-back Ben said: "It was a good experience. The language barrier is difficult sometimes, but I understand a bit of Polish and a few of the lads can speak a bit of English so, when you're on the field, you just shout for the ball."
Ben is joined in the Poland squad by a small contingent of English-based players, including Southampton goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski, who played in the Saints' Championship Play-Off Semi-Final first leg versus Derby County in May.
Poland's U20 side are involved in a mini-tournament in the Middle East with further games planned over the weekend. The matches are a warm-up for the FIFA U20 World Cup which takes place in Canada, starting later this month.
Poland's first Group D game is against the rising stars of Brazil in Montreal on 30 June. They then remain in Montreal to tackle USA on 3 July and Korea Republic three days later.
An excited Ben continued: "I'm staying in Jordan until 12 June and then I go to the World Cup in Canada. They've told me that I'll be in the tournament squad.
"The first one is against Brazil on TV. I'm told about 65,000 tickets have been sold for that game already!"
Ben, who signed a two-year contract extension with the Blades in May, is a regular in United's Reserve sides after coming through the Academy system.
He added: "I think Poland knew of me when I received the Player of the Tournament award in the Milk Cup with United a couple of years ago, they kept tabs on me and eventually I got the call.
"I'm just a normal, Sheffield lad - to get to play in the U20 World Cup is fantastic. I can't wait."
