According to reports, Manchester United is interested in Lucas Bergvall.
The 16-year-old rose through the ranks of IF Brommapojkarna’s academy to join their senior team. On Tuesday, he scored his first goal for them in a 4-1 loss to sters IF.
Less than 24 hours later, Manchester United is mentioned as keeping an eye on the Sweden U16 international.
According to FotbollDirekt, several clubs in Europe are interested in the’super talent,’ but only the Red Devils and Feyenoord are mentioned as ‘chasing’ him. That’s all the information the report has on the Premier League club.
IF Brommapojkarna sporting director Peter Kisfaludy confirmed the midfielder had visited Manchester United’s Carrington training facilities a year ago.
“You have to remember that Lucas has been to Manchester United, Juventus, and Bayern Munich,” Kisfaludy said in November 2021 to FotbollDirekt.
“As previously stated, this is an exceptional talent.” His game understanding and technique. It’s easy to see why he’s the team captain of the U16 national team when you see him.”
Despite the fact that Manchester United is ‘chasing’ Bergvall, he will not be able to come to England until he turns 18 years old, according to FotbollDirekt. This is because, following Brexit, English clubs will be unable to sign overseas players until they reach that age.
