Man Utd offer dream trials to two Indian youngsters

Manchester United will hand trials to two footballers from India.

The 16 year-olds were spotted by local scouts as part of Manchester United's soccer schools in India.

Arko Dey runs a small eatery in the suburbs of Kolkata with his mother. Speaking with Sportskeeda, Dey revealed his mother's shock at the price for a tour of the United Museum at Old Trafford, which is the same as the family's monthly income.

Rajeeb Roy, meanwhile, is the son of one of the sex workers from the Kolkata neighbourhood of Sonagachi.

Roy says his hero is Chelsea midfielder Oscar and he is known as a skilful, attacking midfielder.
