MANCHESTER UNITED have completed the signing of 14-year-old rising star Isak Hansen-Aaroen.
The Tromso player had trials at both Liverpool and Everton but opted to join the Red Devils.
The promising Norwegian cost United £90,000, with Aidan Barlow heading in the opposite direction on a loan deal.
Hansen-Aaroen was convinced by United after having a tour of their training ground.
Fellow Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also thought to have played a big part in his decision to reject rival Premier League clubs.
As the player is under the age of 16, United will need to wait until 22 August next year for him to officially join.
Hansen-Aaroen wasn't even born when club legend Wayne Rooney signed for Manchester United.
Tromso sports manager Svein-Morten Johansen said: "We think this is very exciting because we cooperate with a big club and we have already developed a good cooperation, and this has now materialised in that we borrow Barlow.
