LITTLE DEVIL: Hayden Smith.

A MANCHESTER United-mad mascot is about to take centre stage in his own theatre of dreams.

Eight-year-old Hayden Smith, who attends Rushcroft Primary School, will stroll out of the tunnel with Red Devils skipper Nemanja Vidic when Sir Alex Ferguson's side host Manchester City tomorrow.

Dad Simon explained: "I entered a competition for Hayden to be mascot after he attended a soccer school at United.

"Luckily his name was pulled out of the hat and he was obviously over the moon!

"He can't wait to meet the players, he has been buzzing all week.

"Hopefully United will get the right result, but I think it could be close."
