Cardiff midfielder Eikrem targets Man Utd start

Cardiff City midfielder Magnus Wolff Eikrem hopes to make his full Premier League debut at former club Manchester United.

Eikrem should make his full Cardiff City debut in the FA Cup on Saturday - and make a case for an Old Trafford return.

"Playing at stadiums like the Etihad and Old Trafford has been a dream of mine since I was a young boy," said Eikrem, a late substitute in the 4-2 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday, to the South Wales Echo.

"I've had a taste and I have to show I'm good enough to get into the starting line-up.

"I want to carry on playing at the same level next season and you find out a lot more about yourself playing teams like Manchester City.

"They have some of the best players in world football and that sheer quality can be tough to cope with."
