REVEALED: Dad and Martin Odegaard visited Man Utd at end of last season

The father of Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard is likely to block any offers from the Premier League for his son.

The midfielder, 15, who plays for Stromsgodset, has been courted by the top clubs in Europe.

And Manchester United had Odegaard and his father over for a week last season, says the Daily Star Sunday. Liverpool are also keen.

However, Dad Hans Erik said: "In the end it's all about development. Nothing else matters.

"I'm allergic to boys who are satisfied getting into an academy or winning."
