Isak Hansen-Aaroen stars on Norway under-18 debut
Anybody who watched Isak Hansen-Aaroen in action for Manchester United’s under-18s last season knows the club have a special player on the books.
The team won 15 of the 16 league matches he played, and the midfielder was a real joy to watch.
At the weekend Hansen-Aaroen made his debut for Norway’s under-18s team.
He played all 90 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to a superior Portugal side, and managed to make his mark.
RONALDO NEEDS TO STOP WHINING.
Hugely talented prospect
Hansen-Aaroen had been capped previously at under-16 level for Norway, where he had three goals in three games.
He is still just 16, turning 17 in August, and has already made his Manchester United under-23s debut.
Hansen-Aaroen featured for Tromso’s first team at just 15 and even provided an assist.
Even if he begins next season with United’s under-18s, it won’t be long until he is an under-23 regular.
Hansen-Aaroen plays as a deep lying midfielder but is also capable of playing in a more attacking role.
This season it will be fascinating to watch how he develops and in 12 months time it would not be a surprise if he is in the first team conversation, because he is simply that good.
It is great to see him getting a games with his country, and he will quickly be promoted through the ranks there too, to the under-21s, and mixing with Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard in Norway’s first team.
