It was previously reported that Manchester United was negotiating to sign Swedish forward Kevin Filin from AIK Solna for about 3 million euros (£2.6 million), but the Manchester Evening News learned that this news was not consistent with the facts. The media revealed that the club's position is now clear: Manchester United is not currently pursuing the young striker of AIK Football Club.
Due to the relevant regulations after Brexit, the recruitment scope of Manchester United’s youth academy is basically limited to the British mainland. Filin is 16 years old, which means he is unlikely to join Manchester United in January as some reports suggest.
According to current rules, Premier League and English Football League clubs are not allowed to sign overseas players under the age of 18, and all players imported from European countries must obtain work permits through a points system.
The media pointed out that it is not uncommon for Manchester United to be mentioned in transfer reports to increase agents' bargaining chips. Filin has played 10 times for the AIK first team this season. The rising star has scored three goals in all competitions and is regarded as a potential future star in Swedish football.
Manchester United is still paying attention to opportunities in the European market, and this summer took the initiative to sign Enzo Kana-Biyik from Le Havre on a free transfer.
Kana-Buyke turned 18 in January and had only one year left on his contract. After Manchester United completed the signing in July, they immediately loaned the young forward to Lausanne Sports Club, a subsidiary of Ineos Group.
Since Ineos invested in the club, Manchester United has significantly strengthened its operations in markets outside Europe: signing Sekou Kone from Mali in 2024, introducing Diego Leon from Paraguay this summer, and recently reached a preliminary signing agreement with Colombian star Cristian Orozco.
