Young Sweden Under-21 international midfielder Otto Rosengren says he was “shocked” to learn that Manchester United supposedly hold an interest in him.
The 19-year-old plays for native top-flight club Mjallby AIF, whose director, Hans Larsson, made the claim last week. “Viborg, AGF and Manchester United, among others, have been looking at him,” he said.
Larsson said club scouts had been to watch Rosengren several times already although nothing official has yet been lodged. The teenager - who has only played 38 senior games in his career - admitted he was surprised to hear about the interest from Old Trafford.

Speaking to Fotbolskanalen, he said: “It’s nice to hear and it shows that you are doing something well. But I don’t attach too much importance to it.
“(Man United’s interest) is quite powerful. But then, of course, you can’t think about that when you’re playing. But when you do think about it, it’s quite big.
“(I need to) just keep playing my game. It’s hard work that got me here, and I want to keep developing. It’s the same job. You can’t be satisfied. You have to keep going, and then there will be good opportunities.”
Rosengren is a versatile midfielder who has played on the left and the right since his debut in November 2021. United scouts have supposedly seen him during some of his recent outings, which the player himself could barely believe.
Rosengren - who has two goals in three Under-21 appearances - added: “I didn’t know that [United] was here, I didn’t even know they had been to Strandvallen (Mjallby’s stadium). I was shocked when I read about it. They said that United are scouting me. I was a bit shocked.”
