Sir Alex surprised everyone in Kuala Lumpur by announcing United have signed a mystery Norwegian.
At the team hotel in Malayisa, the boss revealed he’s bolstered his squad with the capture of a promising 21-year-old. What he didn’t reveal, however, was his name.
“We signed a young player yesterday from Norway, who we’ve been looking at for two years,” Sir Alex said.
“We weren’t intending on signing anyone else after last week – we feel we have a full squad – but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids, so we had to decide whether we acted or didn’t act. We decided to act and he’ll be the last person we sign.”
When pressed for the youngster’s identity, chief executive David Gill intervened, explaining: “We haven’t officially announced it yet, so we’ll keep that to ourselves for now.
“He was signed yesterday and he needs a work permit. He’ll stay on loan where he is and we’ll look to bring him [to Manchester] in January.”
Ljajic is joining the team officially in 2010 Jan~~~which is the second half of the season......
there's a concern that African players have to leave the team for amonth for African Cup in Jan for every few years, that's a big barrierstopping SAF to sign them....
maybe SAF thought Berbatov would be Drogba type...but obviously he's not that type~~~
it depends on Hargreaves health..if he's health, the new signing DMF would be surplus.....
Darren Gibson would be a good try to part with c16 in 2009 season~~....
