Liandro Martis, who attended a series of UK Football Trials in April and May, now has two contract offers from Oldham and Tranmere and is currently training and trialling at Leicester City and Manchester United!

In UK Football Trials biggest ever success story, Liandro Martis is all over the press after a series of stunning trial appearances at Tranmere and Oldham have earned him opportunities at Manchester United and Leicester City.

It all began when Liandro came to the UK Football Trials with a group of players assembled by Dutch agent Jahi Holmes. After a series of impressive displays at our trial events - where a Manchester United and Leicester City scout both saw Liandro play and many scouts requested his details - we arranged for an end of season trial at Barnsley who were at the time fighting it out in the League One playoffs.

Liandro showed glimpses of his electric pace and skill in matches for their under 21 team but didn’t show enough at the time to be offered a contract. For the new season, a top Manchester talent scout (who attends our trials at Stockport) arranged for Liandro to trial at both Tranmere and Oldham, where he scored two fantastic goals from outside the box as well as dazzling with his pace and skills on the left wing. Both clubs tabled immediate contract offers.

His performances have led to both Leicester City and Manchester United giving trials to Liandro and if he can carry on impressing, he has some big decisions to make regarding which club he wants to join!

Liandro's name has been on the lips of many a fan these past few days, with news stories in the Metro, Daily Star, Manchester Evening News and ITV about his spells with Oldham and Manchester United. (http://www.itv.com/news/granada/2016-08-01/manchester-united-take-liandro-martis-on-trial/) 

One Oldham fan even jokingly begged the club to "Give him a 10-year-contract with a £100m buy out clause!" after his impressive performance in pre-season. 

UK Football Trials agent Jim Price, who looked after Liandro throughout his time at Barnsley, spoke to him today from outside Manchester United’s Carrington training ground.

Liandro said, “I am so grateful to UK Football Trials for giving me the chance to show the clubs in England what I can do. Training at Barnsley in a professional environment really helped prepare me for preseason and it’s like a dream come true. My family and friends in both Holland and Curacao are all going crazy and giving me lots of support.”

Everyone at UK Football Trials are extremely excited by Liandro’s progress and hoping that his fantastic form which we witnessed first hand at our trials continues!
