Manchester United are thought to be ‘chasing’ Swedish youngster Lucas Bergvall.
The Lowdown: Bergvall profiled
Bergvall is just 16 years of age but is already sponsored by Nike. He plies his trade with Swedish second-tier side Brommapojkarna and is primarily a central midfielder.
The teenager, who has recently captained his country at U16 level, scored his first senior goal on Tuesday evening. Labelled an “exceptional talent” by Brommapojkarna sporting director Peter Kisfaludy, Bergvall visited United’s Carrington training facility last year, and it looks as if the Red Devils are still keen on his services.
The Latest: United interest
Sports Witness relayed an update from FotbollDirekt on Wednesday regarding Bergvall.
They claimed that several sides are keen on the midfielder but only name-checked Manchester United and Feyenoord as clubs who are actually ‘chasing’ the player.

The Verdict: One to watch?
It looks as if Bergvall may well be a future star, so it could be wise for United officials to look to secure a move as soon as possible.
The Red Devils have missed out on youngsters such as Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland in the past, with the pair going on to become names known around the world.
Therefore, United chiefs won’t want to look back in years to come with another ‘what could have been’ scenario when it comes to Bergvall, so it could be one to watch heading into 2023.
