Manchester United have Russia teenage striker Sergey Pinyaev on trial

Manchester United are taking a look at 15-year-old Russian striker Sergey Pinyaev, according to reports.

The teenager currently plays for Chertanovo Moscow and has been called up to represent his country at Under-17 level.

But the Daily Mail report that, after impressing on two previous invitations, that he has been handed another trial by the Red Devils.

Pinyaev, who scored five times for United’s youngsters in a friendly against Bari, watched Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s seniors train ahead of Thursday’s League Cup semi-final second-leg against Manchester City.

It’s claimed that the goal-getter will spend a fortnight at the club’s Carrington training ground complex as the Premier League giants weigh up a future swoop for the attacker.

However, the Old Trafford outfit know that they can’t officially make an offer for Pinyaev until his 16th birthday in November.
