Fornasier is given all-clear by FIFA to play for Manchester United's Under-18s

Fiorentina's protests over Manchester United's alleged poaching of teenage defender Michele Fornasier have been quashed after FIFA gave the 16-year-old official clearance to play for United's U18s at the weekend. However, Fornasier, 16, was unable to prevent his new side losing 2-1 to Everton. Le Havre, meanwhile, are persisting in their dispute with United over Paul Pogba. Le Havre chairman Pierre Louvel said: 'Pogba had a no-hire agreement, which is a strong commitment as it is signed by the players but above all the players' parents.'
