The Red Devils are hoping to entice another youngster to Old Trafford...

Manchester United's policy of recruiting young talent is set to continue as the Old Trafford management have invited midfield starlet Peter Orry Larsen to train with them, according to various reports in the Norwegian media, including Channel 2 and NRK.
Larsen is currently employed by Aalesunds FK, an established club in the Tippeligaen (Norwegian Premier League).
According to the reports, Kjetil Rekdal - the club's manager - believes Jim Solbakken, Larsen's agent, organised the trial in association with United's youth-team coach Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, who also happens to be one of Solbakken's clients.
The Tippaligaen is currently on hiatus due to the winter close season, and Rekdal admitted it is "problematic that the players use their holidays to train with foreign clubs".
United have also been linked with Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell, Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio and Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.
