Cavan is already becoming a soccer sensation in the United States, with clips and moments of the 14-year-old phenom going viral every other week on social media. This week is no different.
United States phenom Cavan Sullivan made his second-ever Major League Soccer appearance for the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday and wowed fans with a clever dribble.
Sullivan will turn 15 on Sept. 28 but is still racking up the accolades and highlights as a 14-year-old. During Wednesday’s game against New York City FC the youngster showed off his pace as he outran a defender and drew a yellow card.

Lionel Messi returned from his injury layoff to score his 13th and 14th MLS goals and contribute his 14th assist, and Inter Miami overcame an early deficit to earn a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night.
Luis Suarez added his team-leading 17th goal in second-half stoppage time to keep him two behind D.C.'s Christian Benteke for MLS Golden Boot and maintain Miami's lead in the Supporters' Shield race.
One of the youngsters with the most hype in the world is 14-year-old American Cavan Sullivan. The teenage attacking midfielder is the youngest MLS player in history, has already signed with Manchester City and scored a worldie on Monday.
During an MLS Next Pro game against Columbus Crew 2, Sullivan opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a fantastic finish.
The phenom received the ball from outside the box following a cleared corner kick and lasered a shot to the far post. What a strike.

The Philadelphia Union signed 14-year-old midfielder Cavan Sullivan in a record contract for a Major League Soccer homegrown deal.
The club touted the landmark agreement without complete financial details, but reports frame the unique agreement as separate contract with Manchester City of the English Premier League, which Sullivan will join once he turns 18. Once the transfer is complete, the Union will receive up to $5 million from Sullivan's new club.
Pachuca 6, Union 0
Salomon Rondon's hat trick powered the hosts to a rout of Philadelphia in Pachuca, Mexico, sending Pachuca to a 6-0 aggregate victory.
Following a scoreless draw last week in Chester, Pa., Rondon opened the scoring with a seventh-minute penalty kick. He doubled the lead in first-half stoppage time when he exchanged quick passes with Erick Sanchez and fired home a left-footed shot from 12 yards out.
A Philadelphia Union own goal during their 3-2 Concacaf Champions Cup victory vs. Costa Rica’s Deportivo Saprissa marked the return of Concacaf club play in all its glory.
One reason often given for MLS teams’ poor performances in Concacaf competitions is that the teams are still in preseason mode in February and aren’t in full form.
That couldn’t have been more the case for Jakob Glesnes and Andre Blake as they combined — or failed to combine — for a hilarious blooper on Tuesday.
