A lad I know in Belgium tells me United have made a move for 18 year old Belgian keeper Theo Defourny who plays for Lyon. Anyone else heard anything about this?
 
Defourny : « Manchester United a pris contact avec l’OL la semaine dernière pour me recruter » | FOOTGOAL : Le webzine n°1 de l'actualité du Football Belge et International.

Goalkeeper in Lyon, our compatriot Theo Defourny could take well the direction of England and more precisely of Manchester United!

Theo Defourny: “I had various proposals in Germany and in Belgium at the end of the season refused by Claude Puel and I resigned for 2 years in Lyon. Today, the situation is a little confused because there are many guards and the OL wishes to lend some, one will see. I have make the training course of Tignes and I finish the preparation” explains it with the drafting of FootGoal.net.
It begins again: “Manchester United contacted the OL last week to recruit me after me to have followed throughout the season. I am in waiting of the decision of the coach. It is true that in a little fuzzy situation today in Lyon, DRIVEN is a marvellous opportunity with a place of holder and a statute of 4th guard in a club like that there… ”.

He concludes: “I am under contract with Lyon and it is Claude Puel who will decide and I know that it will make the best decision for the evolution of my career, I rely on him. Concerning my objectives, they remain the same ones as before; to play as much as possible, progress and climb levels 1 by 1. Concerning the national team, I had several contacts with Marc Wilmots who came to view me. One will see what the future holds for us with the coach, Mr. Van Geersom”.

Any update on this lad? Any news on whether or not Lyon accepted our offer for him?

Manchester United have 'parked' young goalkeeper Theo Defourny at partner club Royal Antwerp for the new season.

Former Olympique Lyon keeper Defourny had trials at Manchester United at the end of last season and did enough to be offered terms. But the youngster turned them down as he wanted first team football.

A compromise has been reached which will see the Belgium U19 international play with Antwerp with the view to eventually moving permanently to Old Trafford.

At Lyon the 19 year-old was third-choice keeper, working with coach and French legend Joel Bats.

Hasn't our partnership with Royal Antwerp been terminated by us. I'm quite sure I read about it somewhere.
