There is one thing that Manchester United’s new signing loves, it’s playing Call of Duty. His obsession with the game has been driven so far that last season he used to carry a console with him to allow him to play prior to away matches.

Online gaming is a particular joy for the 22-year-old, who plays with his two brothers and former Sweden Under-21 colleague Simon Sandberg, who today plays with Levski Sofia.

“We play together. It’s great fun to sit and talk with the guys and just play a game to pass the time a little,” he admitted. However, it’s Sandberg who is the leader of this team, “He’s great, so he’s the captain.”
