Stromsgodset coach Nielsen happy Odegaard visiting Man Utd, Man City

Stromsgodset coach David Nielsen has no problem with Martin Odegaard doing his tour of clubs.

The 16 year-old Norway international is set to visit Manchester United and Manchester City this week, having spent time with the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

"He is 16 years old, and has the opportunity to travel and see the biggest clubs. He may never get this chance again during his career. I think it's good that he does this," Nielsen told VG.

"As long as he gets something from it, it's fine that he takes advantage of the opportunities.

"I myself have visited Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen in my holidays. It is very fine and instructive to get into the heart of the big clubs."
