Manchester United 'complete Levent Gundogan signing' after stunning trial

Manchester United have completed the signing of Welsh wonderkid Levent Gundogan after a successful six-week trial with the club, according to his former club.

The Connah's Quay Nomads forward was spotted by Reds scouts after scoring four goals while playing for a North Wales development squad in a friendly at Carrington.

The under-14s star was handed a trial on the back of this stunning performance and has since been snapped up by United, according to the Nomads' website.

"[He's] a very gifted player who is comfortable up front or in attacking midfield," a Nomads' spokesman said.

"Levent’s attitude and commitment to training and the club have been first-class and we wish him all the best during his time at Manchester United.

"Levent is a great example of the pathway for players in the FAW Academy system and the opportunities that are available to players to move to a higher level."

Gundogan, who started out as a midfielder when he joined the Nomads two years ago, has followed in the footsteps of under-nine's prodigy Daniel Mayers in making the move from North Wales to Manchester.

Maybe this should be in the youth forum
 
Oh you! I thought you meant the other one which seemed really unlikely!
 
Brilliant signing. I've heard nothing but great things about this kid. Meant to be already far better than the City lad.
 
Good on the lad. Hopefully his spine isn't made out of digestive biscuits.
 
Yeah especially seeing the other one is injured and it's also not a transfer window!
 
Must have talent, like any young player, if he gets his head down he will do well, guess we wont know until he gets his first big contract, whether here or elsewhere.
 
You misleading scamp.

I genuinely believed we'd signed the one who doesn't play for Manchester City, and that this wasn't some kind of attempt at click baiting. I really must have my guard up in future!
 
How do you say that first name?

Lee-vent
Lev-ent
Not-Ilkay

If the name has Turkish origin, I believe it is Lee-vent but the ee's in Lee are short. Kind of like 'Leave it', with an n. Lea-vent.

I just googled it and listened to a video though, I have no idea.
