English Premier League giants Manchester United have sold a promising youngster to a Norwegian club managed by former player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Red Devils have reached an agreement with Norwegian top flight side Molde for the transfer of 18-year-old midfielder Mats Moller Daehli.
The Norway Under-21 international joined the youth ranks of Manchester United in 2011, and he bagged the 2012 Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year Award.
Solskjaer, who took charge at Molde in November 2010, has explained that Moller Daehli has joined the club to continue his development as a player. The former Red Devils goal-poacher also insisted that there is no pressure on the shoulders of the starlet to rush things.

"I advised Mats to go to Manchester United in their time, but I told him he could come to no matter Molde to play if he wanted it”, Solskjaer, 40, said.
And Moller Daehli is happy to be at the Norwegian champions.
"I felt very wanted here at Molde", he told TV2.
"I’ve had two fantastic years at Manchester United, but it got to the point where I had to make a choice and think about my own development."
Daelhi scored four times out of 16 starts for Manchester Under-18s in his first season. After an impressive display in his first campaign, the starlet pushed up his performances in the 2012/13 season, scoring five times out of 20 starts, mostly playing on the flanks.
