According to a report from TBR Football, Manchester United are highly interested in signing Rosenborg’s young sensation Sverre Nypan. However, they will face stiff competition from their arch-rivals Manchester City in the deal.
Who is Sverre Nypan?
Sverre Nypan, who will turn 18 in December, is considered the best talent in the world among his age group. He made his senior team debut for Rosenborg in 2022 and has taken huge strides since then. He has been featuring regularly and putting impressive performances.
Nypan had six goals and nine assists to his name in 27 outings last season. His impressive progress with time has attracted interest from multiple European clubs.
The Norwegian talent is capable of playing as a deep lying midfielder or as an attacking option. He is technically strong, intelligent and uses his body well. He is a great dribbler, does well in tight spaces, and has great vision for passes.
Manchester United keen on beating Manchester City
Manchester United have changed its strategy in recent times and they are also investing heavily in young players. They have a proven record of nourishing young talents and transforming them into world-class performers.
The Red Devils’ interest in Sverre Nypan is understandable as they have been tracking him since he was 15. However, his prominent rise in recent times must have tempted them to go after the hot property before any other club utilises the opportunity.
One of the clubs that are keen on signing Nypan is Pep Guardiola‘s Manchester City. It will be interesting to see if both the rivals will get into a bidding war or not. Both English clubs have the financial strength to offer a lucrative deal. At the end of the day, it will also depend upon the youngster which club he chooses as his next destination.
