Highly-Rated American Defender Heading To Manchester United For Trials

English Premier League side Manchester United have handed a trial to American defender Efrain Morales, 15.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that Morales will showoff his qualities to the Red Devils youth team coaches for eight days with a view to a deal when he attains the age of majority.

The Suwanee native has appeared in 82 matches for Atlanta United Academy, scoring 6 goals.

"You can’t turn those experiences down, especially when you are a developing a player," Academy Director Tony Annan said.

"It’s a bonus to our academy that we are producing players of that caliber.

"It gives us a little pat on the back to say we are doing a decent job producing players that can play in the world’s best leagues."

Efrain Morales was called up to train with United States U15 national team in 2018.
