Excellent from @Matt_Barlow_DM on Martin Odegaard, Norway's 15-year-old superstar-in-waiting: http://dailym.ai/1tzp5A0

Was told a few weeks ago that Odegaard's intention as it stands is Germany next summer. Not Bayern - wants a Gladbach/Stuttgart so he plays.

Would be a sensible choice for him.
Get Ole to talk to him.
We want him here, not Cardiff.
Yeah a not too big club in Germany would be perfect, he'll need to play loads to not stall his development. Hopefully he's got good advisors.

Good choice. Stuttgart, Freiburg or something similar next season, then a move to Bayern in 3 years. Sold!
If he is that talented he will break through at most clubs with a top academy and coaches tbh except the Real Madrid, City, Chelsea, PSG types.
Don't think playing regular first team football at 15/16 would be a good idea either tbh.

That all depends. If he's good enough to play first team football and his body is developed/sturdy enough, wouldn't it be a waste of time and a hinderance to his development if he played in a U23 or U19 team 2 or more levels separated from the top flight?
Just missed a sitter. Could've been a dream debut.
Didn't watch the match, but i've been told he looked really sharp.

Impossible to predict if he is going to "make it" as a top player, but 15(!) is quite young to be playing at this level. If he keeps developing, he could be some player one day.

1) Why have Norway played a friendly this week?
2) Is he in the squad for the friendly against England next week?

International cap at 15?
That is crazy. Youngest player to represent for their country?

A slight understatement there!
Freddie Adu?
I think he was 16? Not completely sure about it.
Liverpool fan. The bastard.
Ole
Ole
I don't think anyone is!

Most of them are from no mark nations or pre war but the youngest notable one was Stephen Appiah at 14. Also Eto'o, Wanyama and Mariga at 15.
Harry Wilson got a cap for Wales. Not sure if he was 15 or 16 though.
If I remember correctly Adu was almost 17 when he made his first team international debut in a friendly vs Canada. Didn't get his first start till he was 18+.
wrt Odengaard, Alen Halilovic or Gareth Bale would be more apt comparisons. Got their first caps for the Croatian and Welsh national mean's team at 16.
So was Ole
We'll have a hard time converting him the way we're looking these days, though.
The last few picks for the matches against England and Italy haven't been announced yet, and Ødegaard is not part of the squad as of yet.

Excellent news. It's time we got some of these hot young players again before Barca seem to scoop them up.
It was a nothing link. He just mentioned there were reports we are interested and might choose to try and sign him today. No substance
I just saw little while back and he said United is hoping to do a deal for him today as well as per his info.
He said when he was last on United will continue to scout him. So I don't think a deal for him will happen today.

I think we'd be a big chance to get him when the time's right, if we're really after him. Just because of his nationality. If from the Latin world he'd already be signed up for Barca or Madrid & his dad would have 10 million quid sitting in his bank account, + a job mowing lawns at the Bernabeu
He's probably right to stay. Playing senior Norwegian football should benefit him more than U18's or U21's right now. I read somewhere he's a Liverpool fan, any truth in that?
Yep. Both him and his dad are huge Liverpool fans.
Doesn't have to mean anything. If he feels United is the best place for him to get the most out of his career he'll join us. Seems like a driven and sensible kid.
Yeah, it may not mean anything but I know as a young teenager I was much more a fanatic of Manchester United than I am now... I doubt I'd ever had joined Liverpool as a kid, now though...
Would love this kid to come to OT but I think we will have to fight off a lot of big clubs...and Liverpool
3 goals and 7 assists this season is it now?
Seems to take on a lot of creative responsibility at such young age.
