Manchester United’s reported interest in Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Halseth Nypan has raised eyebrows in the footballing world. The 17-year-old Norwegian prodigy has been making waves with his impressive performances for Rosenborg in the 2024 Eliteserien season, and now he’s caught the eye of Manchester United scouts.

According to sources, Manchester United sent scouts to watch Nypan during Rosenborg’s match against Lillestrom on Monday. The Red Devils’ interest in the teenager stems from his impressive skills, speed, and creativity on the pitch. With his impressive stats – six assists and five goals this season – it’s no surprise that Manchester United are willing to take a punt on him.
Nypan, speaking about the reported interest, claimed he didn’t know much about it and preferred not to think about it, adding that he needed to learn to deal with these types of situations.
The Manchester United Way
Manchester United’s scouting net is vast, and with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent minority stake acquisition in the club, they have shifted their transfer strategy towards targeting younger players with significant potential. The Red Devils have already signed 18-year-old midfielder Sekou Kone from Guidars in the summer and brought in 18-year-old Leny Yoro from Lille for £50 million.
Will United Land Nypan?
The chances of Manchester United signing Nypan remain high, given their keen interest in the teenager. United have a history of successful transfers, and Nypan’s talent and pace make him an attractive target.
