Overview
- Manchester United are not currently in talks to sign Kevin Filling, according to clarifications from the Manchester Evening News and the Mirror.
- Earlier reports had suggested negotiations over a fee of about €3m (£2.6m) and hinted at a possible January move from AIK.
- Premier League and EFL regulations prevent overseas signings under 18, with European transfers also requiring work permits under a points-based system.
- Filling has made ten senior appearances for AIK this season and has scored three goals in all competitions.
- United’s recent youth business reflects the rules, exemplified by Enzo Kana-Biyik signing after turning 18 and going on loan to Ineos-owned Lausanne, while the club also scouts in markets such as Mali, Paraguay and Colombia and is frequently name-checked in agent-driven rumours.
