Manchester United's senior scout in Scandinavia has been tracked by Sweden international Leopold Wahlstedt, The Mail reports.
Wahlstedt is a 23-year-old goalkeeper who made his international debut for Sweden earlier this year.

Who is Leopold Wahlstedt?
Leopold Wahlstedt plays for Norwegian side Odds BK, signing with the club in 2021. He has been in impressive form for the top team, with four clean sheets in four appearances so far this season.
Curiously, Wahlstedt's contract at Odds ends in December. This could see Manchester United move in for him for a very low price.
It's unclear if Wahlstedt is being evaluated for a potential number one role or just a backup.
Manchester United need both, with Tom Heaton's contract expiring and Jack Butland set to sign for Rangers once his loan expires, the Scottish Sun reports. David de Gea's situation in goal remains unclear as his contract is about to expire. Negotiations are said to be underway over his future.
United are also tracking number one Croatian, Dominik Livakovic
Wahstedt can be a convenient, low-cost supplement. United could potentially get him for under £5m. He will help keep the club's goalkeeping department young and competitive whether he is the only addition or not.
