Manchester United were impressed by Mexican trialist Jurgen Damm this week.
The winger has been on trial at Carrington and, although no permanent deal seems in the offing, it was suggested he could join on loan until the end of the season.
Estudiantes Tecos were awaiting developments but a switch to Real Oviedo, who were very keen to sign him, looks to have been ruled out.
Periodico says a six-month spell at United is on the cards and the 20-year-old will bid to earn a contract.
