Manchester United attacker Anthony Elanga has recalled first moving to England from Sweden.
Elanga, 19, has a past with IF Elfsborg and Malmö FF. But in 2014, the family moved to England.
He told Viaplay: "The day my mother writes a book or makes a documentary, she will tell everything. We did not know anyone and it was difficult with the language. But if it had not happened, I would not be standing here today.
"I am very grateful.
"I played with a local team in the beginning and then United's scouts were on site and saw me. After that, they came to my mother and wanted me to come for a test training. I trained for a week and a half and then they said they wanted to sign a contract. I could not say no and my mother said: 'you do not say no!'."
