Teenager Zito Luvumbo 'on trial at Manchester United'

Teen 'jets in for Man United trial'

Angolan teenager Zito Luvumbo has reportedly flown in for a trial with Manchester United.

The 17-year-old, who currently plays his football for Angolan outfit Primeiro de Agusto, is believed to be on the radar of a number of European clubs.

According to The Sun, United have handed a trial to the winger, who helped Angola's Under-17 side win the COSAFA Cup last year, landing the Player of the Tournament award in the process.

The report has claimed that Benfica, Porto and Sporting Lisbon 'have all shown an interest' in the teenager, but United will keen a close eye on the attacker as he prepares to train with their Under-18 side.

The Red Devils have previously had an Angolan player on their books, with Manucho making three appearances for the club between 2008 and 2009 before leaving for Real Valladolid.
