Midfielder Magnus Wolff Eikrem has followed Ole Gunnar Solksjaer to Molde FK. The 20-year-old has signed a permanent deal with the Norwegian club, having failed to register a senior appearance for Manchester United.
The
closest Eikrem got to a first-team appearance for United was as an unused
substitute in a third-round League Cup win over Wolves.
Often earmarked as the
creative spark in United's reserve-team midfield, Eikrem has Manchester Senior
Cup and Lancashire Senior Cup medals and is regarded by many as being an
excellent prospect for the future.
Solskjaer was a keen admirer of the attack-minded playmaker and has moved
quickly to snap him up at Molde.
37-year-old Solskjaer recently quit at United reserve-team boss to become
manager of is former club.
