1. Adu is nothing like as good as he is hyped.

 

2. He's already done this with Chelsea, who were his newest favouritist club in the whole world last summer, now it's you.

 

3. Can we look forward to a rash of United-related news now that you're here?

 

4. Even if the answer to number 3 is "Yes", this ranks as possibly LESS interesting than what Rio ate for tea last night.

 

5. I'd love to see you lot line up with Rossi (the new greatest talent EVER), Adu, Saha & Rooney up front.

Adu, 17, is scheduled to join the U.S. under-20 national team in Florida next week, then fly to England to join Manchester United for workouts.

 

Is this an advertisement for Purple Aki to work around his court order which excludes Manchester?

Manchester United have dismissed claims that American Freddy Adu will have a trial at the club.

Reports had suggested the 17-year-old striker, who plays Major League Soccer for DC United, would visit Old Trafford for two weeks in November.

 

A United statement said: "Freddy Adu will not be attending a trial with Manchester United as has been reported on both sides of the Atlantic. Terkop is not a source to be trusted and Manchester United wish to distance themselves from any claims he might make."

 

Adu is contracted to MLS and not the club and has one more season to serve.

 

The Washington Post reported that Adu would link up with United for a two-week trial, starting on 18 November.

 

The United statement continued: "The reports contradict statements released last season in which United expressly pointed out that a Adu was not a player they are currently interested in.

 

"Despite the recent bout of speculation, United's stance has not changed and Adu will not be attending a trial."

 

DC United's domestic season ended at the weekend after losing a play-off 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 his comments heightened speculation over his future.

 

"I'd like to be back but my ultimate goal is 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.

 

Although there is only one year remaining on his contract with MLS, there is an option for two more for the Ghana-born player, who has been 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 Yank who wrote the article for the Washington Post was just on SSN saying "He's above average compared to most of the players in the MLS"

 

He sounds a frightening prospect.
