Not sure if this is the right forum or if this should be in the transfer forum, anyway:


Manchester United may have netted 15-year-old goalkeeper after the player, wanted by Arsenal and Everton, reflected positively on his trial there.
Sarpsborg 08 goalkeeper Kjetil Haug, 15, has been on trial at Manchester United, was taken under the wing of Anders Lindegaard, had lunch with David Moyes and even described himself as a supporter of the Old Trafford club.
​
The news will be a blow to a number of other Premier League clubs who had been monitoring the development of the shot-stopping phenom, such as Arsenal and Everton, as it seems like exchanging contracts with Haug is now a mere formality for Moyes.​
Reflecting on his trial period, Haug said, as quoted by Daily Star: 'I talked a lot with Anders Lindegaard. He gave me lots of good advice about a possible transfer. It was very interesting and helpful. We also had lunch with several other United players and David Moyes. Moyes sat down next to me. It was very fun.
'It was very special to be on trial at United since I am supporter myself. United is in that respect very well received when I decide on my future. But that they are closest to my heart does not mean anything.​
'The most important thing is the sporting challenge and the entire package that the club offer me.'

Have we got any pictures of him standing next to Phil Jones or Michael Carrick so we can wildly postulate as to how tall he is?

Nope, but he's bigger then that stadium in the pic :eek: and he still has some growing to do :nervous: !

On a serious note, nah. Have onle just read about him and seen his pic in this thread.
 
Where's he from then (guessing Danish)? I've no idea how to go about saying his name.
 
So how do we pronounce that then?

Kaytil Horg?

First name is Che:til
Last name .. hm...drop the G at the end - and it's straightforward....HAU - the AU sound is identical to the correct pronounciation of the UY sound in Kuyt

Come to think of it - the G sound at the end might be pronounced - depending on where in the country you are from :)
 
Damn - he was big as well. 1.90 and 80 kilos at the age of 16.... and that is a correct height and weight as it was a direct quote from his father when asked about the comparisons to Schmeichel
 
*Insert Woodward joke*

I don't know how they pronounce it where he's from, but there wouldn't be any Che sound here, or in most of Norway.
 
Ive heard from someone reliable that United didnt follow up on his trial
