Summer signing confirms his Manchester United transfer

Isak Hansen-Aaroen has confirmed he is set to join Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

The 16-year-old celebrated his birthday on Saturday and United are now expected to formally confirm his arrival, having already announced their initial academy intake of first-year scholars.

MEN Sport reported the Norwegian would move to Manchester this month a year after United initially agreed a deal to sign Hansen-Aaroen from Tromso.

Now the teenager has broken his silence on the impending move to Old Trafford by sharing a picture on his Instagram story from a United fan account which showed him along with the famous club crest.

Hansen-Aaroen became Tromso's youngest-ever player at the age of 15 years and 319 days last month and United have been hopeful of confirming his arrival before the start of the academy season.

Earlier this week Tromso wrote a farewell message to the teenage forward on their Instagram page: "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."
