I've seen some YouTube videos of him and he seems very good technically i.e. dribbling, finishing, long-range shots, but I guess YouTube compilations can make anyone look good. Seems to me that he would be best played as a second striker rather than a midfielder; this would make the most of his pace, and make a major drawback, his height, less of a problem. Also sounds like he lacks strength, but then so do a lot of players at his age; he might improve. Sounds like you think he has a bit of an attitude problem also? His pace and technical ability make me think he'd be a good fit for Arsenal, but I guess they wouldn't really need him because they have Theo Walcott. I suppose I'll have to see more of him before I make any further judgements.
I think he would be a good signing for United anyway though; he's only 17 so still developing, he might end up being very good; he's obviously got some talent, and Ferguson would probably be able to make the best of him; and it also makes sense from a financial point of view, depends how much he would cost to sign in the first place I suppose.
