West Ham academy star Idris Kanu has joined Manchester United on trial, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The 16-year-old started as the lone striker for the Manchester United U18 side today at Carrington against Middlesbrough, playing 63 mins and even bagged himself two goals in the process.

Manchester United are have gone hard on recruiting talented youngsters into their academy, and Kanu is the latest to be snapped up by the Premier League club.
Kanu made 17 appearances for the West Ham academy side last season, scoring just twice but was considered one of the more promising young talents coming through the ranks in East London.
West Ham signed a promising young striker from Manchester United earlier this summer in Ashley Fletcher following his release at the end of his contract and he’s tipped for a big future with the Hammers following his start against Manchester City last week.
Slaven Bilic has been a big advocate of giving young players chances but it seems Kanu wants his big break to come elsewhere.
