Manchester United are keen on signing 17-year-old Norwegian sensation Sverre Nypan amid interest from Aston Villa and Chelsea.
According to a report by HITC, Manchester United are expected to once again go big in the next summer transfer window. But this time, it will be under the leadership of their new minority owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS. The focus will be on young players who have the potential to be special, and Sverre Nypan is one of their targets.
Sverre Nypan: the “new Odegaard”
Nypan is already a mainstay in the Rosenborg team despite being just 17. He has featured in 30 matches for their team since making his debut back when he was 15. The midfield sensation even has nine goal contributions to his name.
His impressive rise and huge potential have attracted a lot of attention. Rosenborg were aware of the amount of interest in him and decided to secure his services by penning down an extension last summer. His current deal runs until the end of 2026. But even that might not be enough to keep him in Norway.
The teenager, who has been dubbed “new Odegaard”, is on the radar of Manchester United. The Red Devils are going to focus on young players who can help them in the long run, and they feel Sverre Nypan is a perfect fit for the club. He has all the qualities to succeed at Old Trafford.
Manchester United will have to battle Aston Villa and Chelsea for Nypan’s signatures
Manchester United have been doing their homework on the player for a while now, and the player’s camp is aware of their interest. But, they are not the only club after his signatures, as Chelsea and Aston Villa would love to have him in their ranks.
The Blues have some of the best young talents in world football in their ranks. They will look to add more quality to their mix and feel Nypan is an ideal fit for their club. Chelsea have already watched him in action on multiple occasions.
Even Aston Villa have scouted him, Unai Emery has done a great job at the club, and they want to make this easier for their manager by giving him the players he needs. Sverre Nypan is a player who could grow exponentially under Emery and could do wonders for them in the long run. As a result, Aston Villa are willing to fight Manchester United as well as Chelsea to his signatures.
