Erik ten Hag admits he was impressed with what he saw from Isak Hansen-Aarøen in Manchester United's win over Leeds in their pre-season opener.
Goals from Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill gave United a 2-0 win in their first friendly match of the summer, while Mason Mount shone on his first outing for the club.
United went in goalless after they fielded a strong side in the first half of the match before scoring twice in the second half with a younger side consisting of academy prospects.
One of those was Norwegian teenager Hansen-Aarøen who received a warm reception playing in front of a home crowd at his country's national stadium.

The 18-year-old caught the eye with his direct style of play and grabbed an assist when he carved open the Leeds defence with a through ball to set up the opening goal of the match.
Speaking at full-time, Ten Hag was quizzed on the impact of the teenager and asked whether he could feature even more throughout the summer schedule.
"He did well, making a good pass for the first goal," the United manager said. "He’s really comfortable on the ball; he has good vision and good scanning. Of course he’s a young player, he has some deficits he needs to work on, which we will show him and tell him (about) and we will work with him to improve him.
"I can’t tell you now whether he will play the rest of the pre-season with us. We are one week away (from the US tour), and other young kids are doing very well, so I’m really pleased with our first week of work."
When pressed on the performance of Amad and which other youngsters impressed him during the match, Ten Hag once again refused to get too carried away after just one half of football.
On Amad, he added: "As I said, you don't make conclusions after one week. Some impress me, but I don't want to single someone out. We are just in the first week, and I expected these levels and these performances.
"But I will tell them during our sessions what I expect from them. How we judge the levels, the performance today, what they have to work on, but after one week I never make conclusions."
