Manchester United are planning to sign Sverre Nypan in January
Manchester United They are reportedly considering signing Rosenborg star Sverre Nypan in January, according to Give me sport.
After acquiring a minority stake in the Red Devils, Sir Jim Ratcliffe took charge of the footballing side of things at Old Trafford and first decided to revamp the requirements department ahead of the summer window.
Omar Barrada has been appointed as the new general manager, while Dan Ashworth has joined the club as sporting director. In addition, Jason Wilcox has also been appointed as the new technical director.
United, with their new look, decided to strengthen their squad with five new signings this summer. But, along with that, they also focused on adding new faces to the youth system.
Malian youngster Sekou Kone has joined the club, while Samuel Lusale has recently signed. In addition, Chido Obi Martin will become a new Man Utd player, the deal is pending due to the Premier League ratification process.
Now, it looks like another new youngster is on Man Utd's radar. Give me sport claims the Red Devils are interested in Nypan after being impressed by his performances after closely monitoring his development in recent times and are now planning to make a potential January signing.
Nypan to Manchester United
United's plan is to sign him in the winter and then keep him at Rosenborg until the end of this season so he can continue playing football and develop his career.
The 17-year-old is a technically gifted player and is comfortable playing in box-to-box roles. He can also play in the attacking midfield position.
At this tender age, the youngster is already playing regularly in the first team of Rosenborg in the Norwegian first division and has made almost 50 appearances.
He also played against Manchester United in pre-season this summer and was one of the standout performers in that game. The midfielder has scored five goals and registered six assists in 17 starts this season, including a hat-trick against Lillestrom.
Nypan has the potential to develop into a top player in the future, so it would be a smart acquisition for United with a view to the long-term future if they buy him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Premier League champions eventually make a concrete approach to secure his signature in the winter window.
