Crewe are taking Royal Antwerp defender Ransford Addo for trials on recommendation from Manchester United.
"Warren has compared him with Craig Cathcart, who we are aware of at Manchester United. He spoke very highly of him and on that recommendation we have invited him for a trial.
"He is a very intelligent man first and foremost and quick. He is not overly big but big enough and his reading of the game is good. We will assess how he looks over the next few days and see if he meets the required standard. From where he has come from, the standard he is playing in is very good. Antwerp play in front of healthy crowds every week.
"We will make a decision on him fairly quickly. Ideally we would like to organise a game for him but we have a hefty fixture list coming up, playing in mid-week so that prove difficult."
