Slavia Sofia defender Stefan Velkov was pleased with his trials at Manchester United.

His Bulgarian club have confirmed United hope to negotiate first option on the teen after being impressed by his tests last week.

"According to their feedback, they were very pleased with me. Personally, I made a lot of good friends there and enjoyed the stay," Velkov told local TV.

"I got the opportunity to experience football and see how to develop and train with the biggest players at the highest level. This motivates me to work even harder to be able to one day get to that level, which is now United.

"I think I can. It all depends on me. You just have to be motivated and determined."
