Slavia Sofia goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi is set to have a trial with Manchester United, the Bulgarian club confirmed on Wednesday.

24-year-old Mbolhi is in Algeria's provisional squad for this summer's World Cup, but Sofia confirmed he will miss the final two games of the club's domestic season as he flys to Old Trafford to be assessed by the manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I've talked to Alex Ferguson and he's going on trial," club president Ventsislav Stefanov told the Bulgarian agency BTA.

Mbolhi, who has represented France at youth level but is yet to be capped for either country at senior level, only joined Slavia in June — but was recently voted the Bulgarian league's best goalkeeper.

He began his career at Olympique Marseille, and previously had a short spell at Scottish club Hearts.
