Manchester United establish plan to land Sverre Nypan next year | OneFootball

Manchester United have a serious interest in bringing in Norwegian starlet, Sverre Nypan.

The Red Devils have endured a tough season, where even their FA Cup semi-final win felt like a loss in the manner in which they stumbled across the finish line.

However, one aspect which the club has excelled in this season is giving opportunities to youth players, as teenagers Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and, to a lesser degree, Willy Kambwala, have established themselves as key members of the squad.

United also have a clutch of mouth-watering academy prospects in the pipeline, as their under 18s cantered to an impressive league title, including a stunning 9-1 win over bitter rivals Liverpool.

In addition to this, the club have been linked to numerous starlets, showing interest in Archie Gray, Chris Rigg and Franceso Camarda. None of those pursuits have borne fruit, however, but that may be different with Nypan.

A report in February suggested that the Red Devils have been long-term admirers of the midfielder and that interest only seems to have intensified.

German site Fussball.News insists that according to their exclusive information, “Sverre Nypan is on the Red Devils’ wish list”. The website insists that at only 17 years of age, he is already “the mastermind” of the Rosenborg BK midfield.

The Norwegian has so far impressed this season, playing seven games for the first team and already creating five goals.

“At Manchester United, Nypan, who turns 18 on December 19th this year, would not be a serious issue until January 2025. At United he is classified as an investment for the future”.

The outlet claim that the Red Devils value his “game intelligence, positioning and spatial awareness as outstanding. What is still missing are the attributes of athleticism and maturity. The plan could therefore be to secure this gem and initially build it up for the Premier League via a loan deal”.

As usual, United will face stiff competition for the starlet as “Manchester City and Arsenal are also said to have him on their list”. The player’s traits “are similar to those of world-class midfielder Martin Odegaard” and this has meant many top clubs are “vying” for his signature.
