Manchester United has handed a trial to teenage Slovakian midfielder Martin Murcko, according to the Manchester Evening News.

The 16-year-old, who underwent a trial with crosstown rivals Manchester City in December, is currently playing for Slovakian second tier club Partizan Bardejov.

The youngster became a target of interest from top clubs following his goal scoring exploits in the UEFA Under-17 Championships.

Murcko reportedly took a tour of United's Carrington complex earlier this week.
