Sky Sports understands Swedish teenager Abdul Aziz has been forced to cut short his trial with Liverpool because of a heavy bout of flu.
Sky Sports revealed earlier this week how the 14-year-old from ISK Norkopping had been handed a two-week trial with the Reds.
Their scouts had sent back glowing reports to the Premier League club about Aziz's scoring exploits with his club and Under-15 national team.
However, the stocky striker who has been dubbed "baby Drogba" has not been able to display his full range of capabilities because of the bug.
Liverpool now hopes to re-arrange a trial with the teenager during the February half-term, having beaten off competition from both Manchester clubs to land him in the first place.
United, though, are believed to have already contacted the player who will also spend time on trial with them next month.
Kenny Dalglish will be loathe to lose out on such a highly-rated prospect to their north west rivals and is desperately trying to arrange another opportunity for him to return to the club.
