FOOTBALL mad Elliott Bennett was barmitzvah at Heaton Park Synagogue.

Elliott, the son Bryan and Leanne Bennett, is a pupil at King David High School. His brother Max, 10, and seven-year-old sister Libby also attend King David Schools.

Grandmothers Irene Bennett and Francis Kravitz watched proudly as Elliott reached the milestone.

Family attended the simcha from Australia, Singapore and New York.

Elliott, along with dad Bryan, is a season ticket holder at Old Trafford. The pair went to the FA Cup semi-final and Champions League final, both at Wembley Stadium, this year.

But given their favoured Red Devils lost both matches, they will not be attending Sunday's Community Shield against rivals Manchester City - the Bennetts will be on holiday.

Elliott plays in midfield for Maccabi and also enjoys cricket.
