"Etzaz Hussain is a creative, playmaking midfielder with bags of skill and passing ability.

Confident and comfortable on the ball, the left-footed diminutive midfielder likes to be in possession and kick-start United attacks.

He also has the ability to time his runs into the box and score goals.

Etzaz is one of three Norwegians at United, following in the footsteps of midfielder Magnus Eikrem and forward Josh King, and another player United have spotted through Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's strong links back home."
