Saudi Arabia striker Mohammad Al-Sahlawi to train with Manchester United

Saudi Arabia striker Mohammad Al-Sahlawi has been earmarked to spend three weeks training with Manchester United.

The 31-year-old currently plays for Al-Nassr, who only have two games left to play in this season's Pro League campaign.

Al-Sahlawi has scored 26 goals in 33 appearances for Saudi Arabia and is set to spearhead his nation's attack in Russia this summer.

The arrangement is part of a commercial agreement between the Premier League giants and sporting authorities in the Gulf nation.

"It was agreed with Manchester United for Mohammed Al-Sahlawi to join for a training programme for three weeks, may God benefit him," Turki Al-Sheikh, chairman of the General Sports Authority (GSA) of Saudi Arabia, wrote on Twitter.

Saudi Arabia face hosts Russia in the opening game in Group A before playing Uruguay and Egypt.
