We’re signing players so young they have #s in their names now
He is a great talent and Plattenberg have decent sources in Scandinavia
He was linked to us back in the summer as well:
Manchester United and Tottenham have submitted inquiries about AIK’s 16-year-old striker Kevin Filling

>AIK’s Kevin Filling had a dream debut in the Allsvenskan when the 16-year-old scored in his debut against IFK Göteborg.
>Since then, the striker has been sidelined with an injury that has kept him out of action.

>Now, Expressen reports that both Manchester United and Tottenham are interested in Filling and have made concrete inquiries about the player.

>It is worth adding to the information that after Brexit (the UK’s withdrawal from the EU), English clubs cannot sign foreign players before they turn 18.

>But according to the newspaper, Manchester United wanted to sign the 16-year-old and then loan him to Lausanne in Switzerland. Tottenham are also said to have proposed a deal where Filling is bought and then loaned back to AIK.

>The PL clubs are reportedly keen to sign Filling before he breaks through further and the price increases.

>Shortly after Filling’s Allsvenskan debut, the striker signed a three-year A-team contract with “Gnaget”.
That is the most 26 year old looking 16 year old possibly ever
If dortmund or brighton enquired about any kids we should buy them it’s simple as that
That person in the picture is 16???
Hope someone will be #Filling us in soon on how good Kevin really is
the first video that shows when you search his name on YT is a welcome to manchester united video, posted 2 months ago, and from this i can tell he is zlatan 2.0 and will dominate the prem within a week
Never heard of him but if Vivell is involved, I have faith!
I #hope that #he signs #for us. #He looks #like a #great player.
Filling out the paperwork as we speak
Sign 10 talented youngsters for 3m each =30m. Develop them and if only one was to succeed that’s a win. Better strategy than lumping 100m on 1 player I reckon. More sustainable anyway
Always rated him since I learnt his name 10 seconds ago.
Don’t think we’ll get him simply because the earliest he could join us would be in Jan 2027 when he’ll be 18. Probably have moved to Bundesliga or another league in Europe who can sign him now (Jan) if he’s that good.
Love seeing news like this. No idea who he is but I like this transfer strategy.
If for the next season or two we’re going with signing young to prime level players that can contribute immediately. Then at the same time signing lots of highly rated 16-18 year olds, the hope is that some of these players will be able to contribute by the time the prime players are leaving theirs.
Not ready to start, but whenever theres a cavity in the front line, I have a feeling hes a great solution
I really like these low risk signings also I just looked up his name on youtube, because of course I did, and there’s already a 2 month old „Welcome to Man Utd“ compilation video of him lol
Ah yes, the heir to Kevin Lasagna.
Filling is slang for male underwear in swedish.
bro can play for our under 16s and veteran teams
At first glance, I thought it was Antonio Valencia
He is filling the striker position they so badly need
Heard of him for the first time right now, clearly a future Ballon Dor winner
I missed the hashtag and thought he was a one named wonderkid called Kevin.
Like Ronaldo, but if he was born in Birmingham.
We’re really filling the academy up
Looks like a unit. 16, 6’1 already with a Rooney-esque build playing first team football already. Bring him in quick before Chelsea catch wind of him!
He will save us.
Filling literally is slang for underpants/knickers in Swedish haha.
Ineos really think the academy is in shambles from all the youngsters were signing
