Manchester United To Sign 15-Year-Old Norwegian Starlet Mats Moller Daehli This Week - Report
..Manchester United are set to sign 15-year-old Mats Moller Daehli this week, according to reports from his native Norway.
The youngster is currently playing for Stabaek in the Norwegian league but could sign for United as early as this week, if the paperwork goes through, reports Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
If the deal goes through Daehli will join United on February 1, 2011, after a number of successful trials with the club.
Daehli made his national debut for Norway U-15s this summer in Sweden, and two weeks ago played in a tournament in France. Although Norway lost all their games narrowly, Daehli was named player of the tournament.
Stabaek have neither confirmed or denied whether the teenager, who is predominantly a creative midfielder, will join the English club, but do acknowledge the youngster’s talent.
Stabaek coach Pal Berg insisted the youngster has "superior technique" and is "an exceptional talent" who can "be a complete player".
Daehli currently players for Stabaek’s youth team, but has also joined up with the senior team in training.
It is reported Daehli first came to the Reds' attention after one of United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s football academies. -
