Manchester United youngster Mads Timm has been sent out on-loan to Norwegian outfit FC Lyn Oslo until the end of the year to gain first team experience.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has reiterated his intentions to stay at Old Trafford despite tempting links to La Liga giants Barcelona and Real

Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to make friends with Lyn because of the Jon Obi Mikel saga while Lyn director Morgan Andersen revealed there was interested from other clubs including Championship side Stoke.

"Several other clubs were also interested in Mads. Amongst them were Stoke. But Alex Ferguson felt it was best to loan him to Lyn," he said.

"We are, of course, happy with that."

Timm is desperate to revive his career after trouble with the police due for dangerous driving. The Dane has previously spent a loan spell with Viking.
