Former Manchester United trialist Freddy Adu is chasing a contract in Poland.

The Daily Mail says Adu has joined Polish club Sandecja Nowy Sacz on trial, though his new manager insists he is against the move and was not consulted.

Adu, an attacking midfielder, was once one of the most coveted young players in the game when, in 2004 at the age of 14, he signed a professional contract with DC United.

However, Adu has never reached the heights expected and his nomadic career has now taken him to Poland and Nowy Sacz, who are Ekstraklasa new boys after earning promotion last season.

Manager Radoslaw Mrockowski is clearly not impressed that Adu will be at training – comparing him to busted old appliances.

He said: “I just heard someone picked him up from the airport.

“This is not my idea, so let's face it, the man who wants to have Frank [sic] Adu on the team, I do not accept this, it was not consulted with me."
