United to trial Swedish teen

Sky Sports | Football News | Premier League | Manchester United | United to trial Swedish teen

Manchester United are set to hand Swedish teenager Rasmus Lindgran a week-long trial.

The 15-year-old, not to be mistaken with the Ajax midfielder of the same name, will join up with United's youth academy in February.

His father Mikael Lindgren admits he is bowled over by the scheduled trial, saying there are none bigger than the 11-times Premier League champions.

He does, however, admit that his son will likely stay in Sweden for the time being because he is too young to move abroad.

"It can probably not be any bigger than this," Lindgren snr told Dala-demokraten.

"I find it hard to believe he would move to a club abroad already though."

Lindgran has been linked with Swedish sides Brage, Gefle and IFK Gothenburg in recent weeks.

Most important question at the minute, can we get him cheap?

Im fairly certain this is the answer to all our problems, long and short term.

Nice to see us continuing to find young talent in that region - King and Eikrem have both looked good purchases from Norway, and have come on well. If the young lad Lindgran has had interest already from the top sides in the Allvenskan like the article said, then he's probably got a bright future in front of him, and hopefully he'll show at the trial that he can add something to our youth sides.

If the deal does go through, at this age it's probably wiser for him to gain a bit more experience at his local side before making such a big step as a move to United. Good luck to the lad though, must be a pretty exciting experience at that age.

It's actually scary that there are 9 Norwegian youngsters playing for United and City's youth/ reserve teams. We have 3 and City have 6

Didn't even know Norway had 9 talented players
