    Josh Gatt and Sean Cunningham to trial with ManUtd?

    Found this on ManUtd rumor blog:

    "Talksport claim that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has offered two of his Molde youngsters to the Reds on a trial basis. Winger Joshua Gatt and full-back Sean Cunningham are two Americans who are apparently highly regarded by the ex-United hitman."

    Probably bunk--- for now. Kinda hard when they are in-season to trial. However, during the offseason, I could see both getting to train with Man U courtsey of OGS's relationship with the club.

    Re: Josh Gatt and Sean Cunningham to trial with ManUtd?

    Like mvann said I'd say its just a training opportunity. Gatt and Cunningham just signed for Molde and OGS seems to rate both of them highly especially Gatt. I can't see him wanting to sell them plus there is the whole work permit issue for England.

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    I wouldn't lend much credibility to an article claiming that Molde has won the league with half of the games yet to be played. :rolleyes:

    Maybe it was misplaced from a psychic column.

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    I hope you are right! What a story it would make: Molde has not won the league during the 100 year history of the club. Then the clubs largest star returns as the most famous norwegian of all time, after 14 years in one of the largest football clubs in the world. In his first year as a top division manager he takes MFK all the way, and wins them their first gold medal. A true fairytale :)

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    Cunningham will also play for Molde in the Nextgen series this autumn, an international tournament dubbed "the Champions League for juniors". Molde FK is in group 3 with Liverpool, Wolfsburg and Sporting Lisbon. This will be a great opportunity for the young players to test themselves against some of the best youth players in the world. First game is against Wolfsburg in Molde, the 18th of August.

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    Probably not. After the sale of Diouf to FC Copenhagen he'll be used on the first team. Might be they'll by some new players in the summer transfer window, which would push Gatt down on the U-19 team, but for the time beeing he is an A squad player. Seems unlikely too, OGS says he believes in Gatt and want to use him.

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    If it's going to give him an opportunity to play regularly by all means take the loan. But if Sean's going to be in the rotation of players at Molde it might be better to stay and be under the watchful eye of OGS. Molde, from all indications, thinks highly of Sean so whatever the case they will do what's best for Sean's development.

    Stabaek are having a financial crisis if memory serves. They might just be looking for cheap players to fill slots.

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    US U-20 left back Sean Cunningham played the 2nd half today in Molde's 3-2 win over Ranheim.

    Molde were down 2-0 when Sean came on

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    That's great news. Any way to find English reports on how he played? Will you get a write-up into YA.com?

    Re: Sean Cunningham signs with Molde FK (Norway)

    There doesn't seem to be any reports that could be translated either that mentions him at all.

    On a side note: Cunningham is likely to go on a season-long loan to either a division 2 team or another team in the Tippeliga. The reason being that he needs more match-time, as well as Molde FK may need to clear up a spot in the quota of foreign players.

    Haven't seen this posted yet. Both Cunningham and Gatt started in a friendly against Sogndal. The game ended 0-0 with Cunningham being subbed at halftime.
