Manchester United have expressed interest in signing highly rated Swedish U18 international midfielder Oliver Mansson from IFK Göteborg, according to Sport Witness.
Mansson has emerged as one of the most exciting crops of Swedish talent making their mark across Europe, including Tottenham Hotspur’s Lucas Bergvall, Barcelona’s Roony Bardghji, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Love Arrhov and even AIK’s 17-year-old centre-forward Kevin Filling, who is attracting interest from Arsenal.
The midfielder has played his entire career at Göteborg, playing in all the youth ranks at the club’s academy level. After impressing with the youth teams, he made his team debut in May against 12-time Swedish champions Djurgårdens IF at 16 years 09 months, becoming the sixth-youngest debutant in the club’s history.
