KATHMANDU: Daniel David Katwal, son of famous hair-stylist Neil David Katwal, is travelling to London to attend a week-long training at the English Premier League side Manchester United. The training will be held from July 5-10. According to the Manchester United Soccer Schoool's schedule, the camp for the 12-14 years group will start at Denstone College on July and finish at Old Trafford on July 10. The School's Senior Football Training Camps offer a comprehensive coaching programme, modelled on MUFC Academy training, and are designed to challenge young athletes to progressively develop their skills and confidence. The 12-year-old footballer had earlier attended a two-month training camp in Bangkok under former Liverpool Football Club player Kevin Watt. Katwal was highly rated by the coach then. Katwal is currently training under former Nepal national team skipper Raju Kaji Shakya at National Football Academy in Shankhamul. After the Manchester United training, Katwal will travel to Italy at the end of 2015 to take part in another training camp.
