Joshua King
According to Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, UNITED have signed 15 year old (born 1992) Joshua King from Norwegina PL side Vaalerenga. I must admit that I don't know much about this player, but I think he is a striker and wingplayer. He's playing for Norway U15, and for his club at Junior level(U19). In his debut for the U19, he had 1 goal and 1 assist, pretty good considering him playing players up to 4 years older. He's highly regarded as one of the most talented players at his age in norway. He is a technical very gifted player, and has a good eye for goal as far as I have heard.
Here's a story about him (in norwegian) and some pics. I don't know when he's suppose to move to UNITED, but I think he had a trail earlier this year. If anyone have more information about this player, I would love to hear. Tony, have you heard anything about this player? |

Cnut beat me to it, there was a story in the paper issue of Aftenposten on saturday, I have just read the story on vpn.no's forum too.
Here are a story from his debut for Vaalerenga junior (U19)(the story is in norwegian) Does anyone of you know more about this player? Is there any chance of him moving to Manchester this year, or doe's he have to wait until he's 16? |

I know Elliott, but as my frustation for your silly pictures grew larger and larger, my head exploded and bold became bald
 He's not BALD, but I hope his bold... He's playing against players 4 years older, so I would guess him to be bold |

I heard that Jim Solbakken, 20LEGENDs close friend and advicer, was helping Joshua with his contract with UNITED. I think he did the same when we signed Wolff Eikrem. As far as I understand, Joshua King is a fast, skillfull player that is quite strong for his age. I think he will join UNITED next year cos of the rules of signing players under 16. Is only other chance as far as I know, is if his family moves to Manchester with him. |

Elliott
He might play some matches, cos he's been promoted to the U19 this summer. Joshua might play in the Junior Cup match against Glimt, they play at Voldsløkka 29th september at 16.00. Here are the Fixturelist for Vaalerenga U19 Feel free to comment if you see any matches with Joshua plays. I heard from a friend of mine that Joshua are discussing terms for a contract with UNITED, and that he hasn't signed anything yet, but is most likely to do so. |

Joshua King has trained with United a couple of times. He has impressed the club, and now United want him permanently.. He has been offered a contract, and only details left, before han signs. He will move when he turns 16, at the 9th of January. His main forces is his speed, he can go past players and his natural fitness is superb. His a winner, a good athlete and has great technic. He's mainly a striker, but can also play on either wing. 1.80 m high. |

His agent has recently told United.no that he's moving to Manchester with his mother in January, when he's old enough to actually sign the contract.
Can't say I know anything at all about this player, but it's always nice to see more Norwegians at United (so long as they're not Riise). |

 It'll be good for him to get his first goal in the reserves sooner rather then later just to keep his confidence high. Oh and hopefully no injuries.. |
