Krylia Sovetov Samara winger Sergey Pinyaev admits he hopes to have a future with Manchester United.
The Russian youngster trialled annually at United as a junior player and is now making a name for himself in the local Premier League.
He said, "Is my story over with Manchester United? Probably not, let's see.
"They said they would sign me when I was 18 years old? I'm already 18, they didn't sign me, which means that something was wrong. Perhaps this was not true. Perhaps it was invented. I don't know.
"Future plans? I want to be in Europe. Whether it's Manchester United, or Barcelona, or any other team. I want to be in Europe."
