Man Utd starlet Hansen-Aarøen praised by Ten Hag and teammates

Manchester United starlet Isak Hansen-Aarøen's display against Leeds United has earned him a lot of praise.

The talented midfielder was at his best during a friendly against the Elland Road club on Tuesday.

Hansen-Aarøen provided an assist in the game for teammate Noam Emeran in a 2-0 win.

Post-game, he wrote on social media: “Fun to play in Norway!"

Many of his teammates commented, with the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Charlie Savage, Marc Jurado, Rhys Bennett and Maxi Oyedele praising him.

Joe Hugill wrote: "Top," while Marc Jurado added: "So good."

Erik ten Hag said: "He did well, making a good pass for the first goal. He's really comfortable on the ball; he has good vision and good scanning. Of course, he's a young player, he has some deficits he needs to work on, which we will show him and tell him (about).

"And we will work with him, to improve him. I can't tell you now whether he will play the rest of the pre-season with us. We are one week away (from the US tour) and other young kids are doing very well, so I'm really pleased with our first week of work."
