AIK Solna wonderkid Samuel Brolin has confirmed that he was invited for trials at Manchester United, Manchester City and Sunderland.

United have long been interested in Brolin and are understood to have scouted the 17-year-old goalkeeper on a number of occasions during the 2016/17 campaign.

Brolin is being tipped for stardom and it appears the Red Devils could be set for competition from bitter rivals, City, in landing the young Swede.

Speaking to Fotbol Dirket, the teenager revealed: ‘It was a year and a half since I was at Manchester City. I’ve been there twice.

‘Then I was at Sunderland, and then Manchester United last Easter.’

Brolin claims it was ‘good fun’ to discover how the Premier League’s giants operate.

He added: ‘It was good fun to be over there.

‘You could see how different the three clubs work and there are pros and cons with all three.

‘It’s fun to compare with here at home in Sweden as well. It has been a good experience for me.’
