Manchester United have taken Swedish starlet Alex Timossi Andersson on trial from his native club, Helsingborgs.
Andersson, 16 is regarded as one of the brightest prospects of the modern era and trained with Bayern Munich last year.
Despite playing at the age of 16, Andersson has already made his debut for the club and is fast building a name for himself.
A glimpse into Andersson’s brilliance
And now Helsingborgs coach Per-Ola Ljung has confirmed the teenager will spend a week training with Manchester United.
Ljung revealed Andersson’s education had prevented the youngster from visiting United earlier. He said: “We thought it was appropriate to do it now so he does not miss anything in the school and that he could do it under his goodness.
“It’s fun for him and fun for the club. It was probably a long time ago Helsingborgs had a player at Bayern Munich and Manchester United in this way.”
