Manchester United have signed Norwegian wonderkid Isak Hansen-Aaroen, according to club Tromso.

Hansen-Aaroen is highly rated and made his first-team debut aged 15 years and 319 days, becoming the youngest person to ever play for the club.

United have an agreement with Tromso, and sent Aidan Barlow to Norway last summer before releasing the 20-year-old earlier this window.

Hansen-Aaroen is expected to link up with United's academy for at least a year as part of his development.

The club wrote on Instagram: "A wonderful person. A unique football talent. Who just loves to play football now.

"From Fløya to TIL as a junior, into the academy as a 10-year-old, learns at the TIL school and debut for the first team as a 15-year-old. Assist in his last match for Tromsø IL, this time.

"Thank you so much for the last ten years and good luck in Manchester United and on in your career. We hope you have a great time, see you soon."

Tromso assistant Lars Petter Andressen of Aaroen: "I wish he could be here and contribute to the season, but we understand that they want him there."
