Manchester United hand trial to former Feyenoord kid Liandro Martis

United scouts were keen to take a closer look at the 20-year-old Curacao international winger after spottiing him turning out for Oldham in a trial last montn.

He trained with Manhester United's Under-23s last week with Leicester apparently interested in the player, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Marits, who has posted a picture of himself at United's training ground on social media,= scored in Oldham's friendly loss to Preston last month, and United have offered him a training stint at Carrington.

Martis has yet to accept a deal with Oldham. who face losing out on the player if United and Leicester are serious. Martin claims he has been offered a contract by Leicester.

United could be looking at the player with a view to the longer term and a spot in the U23 side, says the MEN.

"I went into Leicester for a day and felt comfortable and got an offer," Martis is quoted as saying.

"Then I went into Manchester United for a week and received good feedback from Warren Joyce and could have earned a deal had I waited, but I just want to get my career started.

"I am confident in my ability. I've played a number of games to obtain fitness and have done well. I played against League Two Crewe and scored and laid on an assist and then played in a game with Tranmere where I help set up a number of goals before I went Oldham and scored against a championship Preston. Oldham have offered me a deal and we have been in negotiations for two weeks.

"I am nearing a decision on my future and I want to make the right decision for the next stage of my career."
