Manchester United to take Saudi Arabian striker Mohammad Al-Sahlawi into training for three weeks
The 31-year-old will work under the watchful eye of Jose Mourinho as he looks to reach his best before the World Cup
SAUDI ARABIA star Mohammad Al-Sahlawi is set to train with Manchester United for three weeks.
Jose Mourinho's side have no intention of signing him, but the 31-year-old will use the opportunity to brush up on his skills ahead of the World Cup.
The agreement is tied to a commercial deal, which is aimed to help the football industry in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Sahlawi, who plays for Al-Nassr, only has two matches remaining of his domestic campaign.
His last fixture in the Saudi Professional League will take place on April 12, which gives him a two month break before the competition in Russia.
He will use this time to train under the watchful eye of Mourinho at the Aon Training Complex.
Reports in Saudi Arabia have confirmed that there is no indication that United will want to sign Al-Sahlawi.
Turki Al-Sheikh, the chairman of the General Sports Authority, said: "It was agreed with Manchester United for Mohammed Al-Sahlawi to join the training programme for three weeks.

"May God benefit him."
The experienced striker boasts a remarkable record of 26 goals in 33 appearances for his country.
But he was slated by Al-Sheikh for a "decline" in his performance during Tuesday's 4-0 defeat to Belgium.
Saudi Arabia have been drawn into World Cup group A, alongside Egypt, Russia and Uruguay.
