The young Danish forward has missed a lot of time in preseason due to the transfer. As a result, he will be given time to get up to speed and increase his fitness levels before he is included into the youth squads.

Martin posted a photo of himself with United legend Eric Cantona to hint at the transfer, which is yet to be confirmed officially. However, the formalities have been completed including the paperwork and the medical tests.

Now, it remains to be seen if he can eventually work his way up to the first team to join compatriot Rasmus Hojlund in the striker department of the senior squad.
