HENRIK LARSSON’S son Jordan has been told to stay at his Swedish lower league club to learn his trade before thinking about a move to Manchester United.

Jordan, 16, was born just a month before the Celtic legend made his Hoops debut and has already been linked with Old Trafford.

It’s a move that would see the teenager follow in the footsteps of his father who had a golden but short-lived loan stint with Man United.

But Jordan’s Swedish fourth-tier club Hogaborgs are keen to keep their star kid for a little bit longer.

And his manager Kenneth Karlsson said: “Jordan will stay another year with us, then after that anything can happen. Helsingborgs are interested too but they see the importance of developing him and understand he should get another year with us.

“There are other teams who have watched him but we have beaten off interest from foreign clubs and other teams in Sweden.”

Larsson junior netted six goals for his side last season and the attacking midfielder has been tipped to have a big future.

He was brought up in Scotland before training with Barcelona’s Youth Academy when his dad played for the Nou Camp giants.

Larsson senior played 13 times for Man United under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2007.
