At the young age of 14, Cavan Sullivan has taken the MLS by storm, making his debut for the Philadelphia Union in a remarkable match against the New England Revolution.

Freddy Adu, the previous record holder, had nothing but praise for Sullivan, acknowledging the young star's incredible achievements.
