Russian whizkid Sergey Pinyaev kicks off his latest round of trials with Manchester United today.

Chertanovo football chief Nikolai Larin confirmed on Friday that Pinyaev was in transit bound for Manchester.

He told RIA Novosti: "Sergey flew to Manchester an hour ago. Two weeks of training await him.

"There will be many different tests. Everything is going according to plan there, so there is no need to wait for anything serious.

"Manchester and I are in touch, and they want Pinyaev to come every year. The internship is no different from the previous ones."
