Kazakhstan teenage star Sergey Khizhnichenko chasing Man Utd move

Kazakhstan's teenage star Sergey Khizhnichenko dreams of a move to England - and Manchester United.

Kazakhstan pushed Ukraine hard in their FIFA World Cup qualifier, eventually losing 2-1 in Kiev, and the FC Vostok youngster impressed. He was recalled for the fixture away to Andorra on 9 September and repaid the faith with two first-half goals in a 3-1 win.

Khizhnichenko, 18, admits his dream to play in the Premiership.

"I'm ready to do it free of charge," he joked. "I just need a chance. I understand it is difficult to do from Kazakhstan, so I would need to move to Russia. But for now all my thoughts are with Vostok as we are fighting to stay in the Premier League. After that has been achieved I will dream about United."
