Manchester United announce the signing of 17-year-old goalkeeper Matej Kovar from FC Slovacko.

Manchester United have signed 17-year-old goalkeeper Matej Kovar from FC Slovacko.

The teenager is believed to have spent a week training with the academy in the latter stages of 2017, and has now signed a professional contract with the 20-time English champions.

Kovar is also understood to have previously spent time on trial at West Ham United before penning a deal at Old Trafford.

"The 17-year-old is a talented young goalkeeper who has already appeared for Czech Republic's U18s on two occasions, highlighting his promising pedigree and excellent potential," read a statement on United's official website.

Kovar will initially represent United's Under-18 team, who are currently top of the Northern division.
