# Manchester United leading Liverpool in race for top prospect

Liverpool are up against Manchester United in a race to sign 14-year-old Isak Hansen-Aaroen, [according to the Daily Star.](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/736126/Man-Utd-Liverpool-Everton-transfer-news-Isak-Hansen-Aaroen-update?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daily-star-football+%28Daily+Star+%3A%3A+Football+Feed%29)

Despite a tricky start for the Red Devils on the pitch, the Mancunians are looking to continue their tradition of producing high-end academy talent with the signing of Hansen-Aaroen.

Currently in the youth setup of Norwegian side Tromso, the youngster has been in the North West quite a bit over the last year.

Having trials with both Liverpool and Everton, it is understood that both teams still harbour an interest in signing Hansen-Aaroen.

Liverpool are used to doing battle with United for the transfer of big money stars, but the altogether different struggle for a 14-year-old will pit the two distinguished academies against each other.

A valuable commodity, the Reds’ commitment to the future is exhibited by their pursuit of the Norwegian starlet.
