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.
