Manchester United have completed the signing of FC Zurich striker Nishan Burkart, the club president and the player's father have confirmed.
The 16 year old will join United in the summer. The player also attracted interest from the the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Swiss sensation is however leaving the club on a bitter note. His club decided not to play him again since his move to United was agreed by his parents. This forced the player's after to openly criticise the club.
"We have decided to leave the club in the summer. Nishan switches to Manchester United. He said.
"This reaction by Mr Canepa has disappointed us. We would have liked a more dignified exit. It makes me feel as if he is offended. He could indeed be proud.
"It has affected my son. Now, however, he no longer suffers. He is looking forward to Man United."
Club president Canepa also echoed the move but said the club was looking into next season, hence they
can't be fielding a player who won't be at the club in the future.
"Nishan Burkart’s family have decided to move him to Manchester United.
"Therefore we decided not to use the player. Here we are concerned with the squad planning for next season. We want the place already to make a player available who will play next season, but Nishan continues to participate in team training."
