Manchester United are determined to get the better of arch-rivals Manchester City in the race for the services of Norwegian sensation Sverre Nypan.
According to a report from TBR Football, Manchester United and Manchester City are both interested in the services of Sverre Nypan. Both Premier League giants have been closely monitoring him for a long while and are all set to battle it out for his signature. The Red Devils are determined to beat Pep Guardiola’s team to the young midfield sensation’s signature.
Nypan has come up the ranks at Rosenborg and has been a part of their first team since the start of 2022. He already has 54 first-team appearances and in those outings, the central midfielder has managed to contribute towards 21 goals (11 goals, 10 assists).
Manchester giants to battle for Nypan
Sverre Nypan’s sensational rise has resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe. The Norwegian talent, who will turn 18 in December, has been on Manchester United’s radar for a long while. They have already held talks regarding a potential transfer and are all set to step up their interest in his services.
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are also interested in the 17-year-old midfield sensation. The Premier League champions are always on the lookout for players who can help them in the long run, and his rise seems to have caught the attention of their scouting network.
While it is a difficult task for any club to beat the team in light blue to sign any of the best young talents in the world, Manchester United are determined to get a deal for Sverre Nypan over the line. They want to bring the Norwegian talent to Old Trafford at all costs.
He is considered to be the best young player in the world in his age group, and the Red Devils do not want to miss out on him having scouted him since the age of 15. Their representatives were in the stands in Stavanger on Tuesday to watch the 17-year-old in action for Norway under-21 as they smashed Turkiye 5-1.
While Manchester United are doing everything possible to acquire his services, they are not the only one keeping a close eye on Sverre Nypan as their rivals Manchester City were also present in the Viking Stadion. Given how things have developed, it could end up being an intense battle between the Manchester rivals for the signature of the midfield sensation.
