| Man Utd Confirm Interest In Freddy Adu.
From: BBC Quote: Manchester United are attempting to negotiate a two-week trial for American teenager Freddy Adu in November.
The club initially rejected reports that the 17-year-old striker, who plays Major League Soccer for DC United, would visit Old Trafford.
However, it has now emerged that negotiations are under way.
Adu has also been linked with Chelsea and could be available for transfer in January, providing a fee can be agreed with MLS, who own his registration.
DC United's domestic season ended at the weekend after they lost a play-off at the hands of New England Revolution.
After the game Adu said there had been "some serious talks" that could lead to him playing elsewhere next year and his comments heightened speculation over his future.
"I'd like to be back but my ultimate goal is to go overseas and if it comes sooner rather than later, I'll take it," he added.
Adu has played three seasons for DC United, having joined them at the age of 14.
Although there is only one year remaining on his contract with MLS, there is an option for two more for the Ghana-born player, who has been hailed as the great hope of American soccer.
Any potential move to Europe will be permissible under international transfer rules when he turns 18 in June 2007. |
So how good is he?
If he is as good as they say then i'm surprised no one has signed him already. |
