English Premier League leader Manchester United has categorically denied that Major League Soccer’s Freddy Adu will be heading to the English giant for a two-week training session, as was previously reported in the Washington Post. The report suggested that the 17-year old D.C. United player would be fulfilling his lifetime goal of training with the English club in the hope of one day securing a permanent contract. Manchester United, however, issued a statement today insisting that it isn’t interested in the player. “Major League Soccer’s Freddy Adu will not be attending a trial with Manchester United as has been reported on both sides of the Atlantic,” read a statement from the club. “The reports contradict statements released last season in which United expressly pointed out that a Adu was not a player they are currently interested in. Despite the recent bout of speculation, United’s stance has not changed and Adu will not be attending a trial.” The Washington Post story included quotes from Adu claiming that United had been monitoring the player’s progress since he became the youngest American to sign a professional sports contract in 2004 at the age 14.
