Manchester United have received a major boost in their efforts to sign Oscar Borg after the highly-rated youngster rejected a contract at West Ham.
The winger has been on trial with the Old Trafford club over the last couple of weeks, playing in a friendly game for the Under 18 side against Trafford last week - see http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140723/football/young-man-of-maltese-descent-on-trial-with-manchester-united.528965
The Daily Mail said he would be available for just a nominal fee, thought to be in the region of a £250,000 in compensation as he has not been signed up a scholar, despite emerging through the club’s famed academy system.
