Man United Want to Secure Deal for ‘Next Frenkie de Jong’ in January -Reports

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Manchester United may try to negotiate a deal for Norwegian prodigy Sverre Nypan sooner rather than later since new owners INEOS and sporting director Dan Ashworth may be considering a January transfer.

United has been eyeing Nypan for a while now as one of the most promising young players on the continent.

At just 17 years old, the young midfielder has already appeared in nearly 50 games in the Norwegian first division.

Because of his immense potential, United youth scouts are very interested in signing him; a contract may be finalized in January, allowing him to arrive in the summer.

Chido Obi Martin is the main one after his move from Arsenal, but even youth players who have seen more exposure to the first-team, such as Toby Collyer, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho have come on leaps and bounds.

GIVEMESPORT sources have suggested that United chiefs are ‘so impressed’ with Nypan, that a deal could be brokered in early 2025 to bring him to the club sooner than anticipated.

United are expected to be considering a deal to sign him from Norwegian giants Rosenborg, though they would loan him back out to the Eliteserien outfit to boost his progress by virtue of game time.

GIVEMESPORT sources exclusively revealed earlier that United were tracking him, with other outlets later confirming that scouts are present in Norway to monitor his talents.

Central midfield is a huge area of focus for United’s youth scouts in 2025, with Sekou Kone, Mainoo and Collyer all having the potential to have huge futures in the club’s midfield; but Nypan would be a huge capture at the age of just 18 come the window, even if it means that United must loan him out in January.

United are intent on making sure that they don’t miss out on top young talents for the coming years when they have been early to scout them, instead paying premiums later down the line.

Nypan signed his first professional contract shortly after his 15th birthday in Norway, and then became part of the first-team squad before he had even turned 16 in the top-flight with his debut against Jerv back in November 2022.

He has shades of Martin Odegaard about him; the Arsenal captain burst onto the scene when he was 14, and although the Gunners man travelled to Real Madrid almost instantaneously at the time, Nypan has remained in his hometown of Tromstad.

Already making an appearance for Norway’s under-21 squad, alongside 10 league goals in just 45 games for Rosenborg’s first-team, he’s a real wonderkid
