<DIV class=cap>Adu is hailed as the great hope of American football</DIV></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Freddy Adu will train with Manchester United for two weeks in November.
The 17-year-old American forward has long been tipped to become one of football's hottest prospects and has repeatedly hinted at a move to Europe.
Adu plays his football for DC United in American Major League Soccer and club spokesman Doug Hicks stressed that the spell in England was not a trial.
"This is a great opportunity and we support his decision to seek additional training opportunities," Hicks said.
DC United's domestic season came to a close at the weekend following a play-off loss to New England Revolution.
After the game Adu said there had been "some serious talks" that could lead to him playing elsewhere next year and heightened speculation over his future.
"I'd like to be back, but my ultimate goal was to go overseas, and if it comes sooner rather than later, I'll take it," he added.
Adu has played three seasons for DC United, having joined them at the age of 14.
The midfielder-cum-striker, who is contracted to MLS rather than the club, has one more season to serve but there is an option for two more for the Ghana-born player hailed as the great hope of American soccer.
Any potential move to Europe will be permissible under international transfer rules when he turns 18 in June 2007.
The Washington Post reports that Adu will link up with United on 18 November. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
