Ruben Amorim 17-year-old

In 2025, Manchester United is expected to start the Ruben Amorim era, and they might have the ideal addition in store for him. Before Ruben Amorim takes over, Van Nistelrooy will oversee his last game as interim manager on Sunday afternoon against Leicester City. Amorim was named as Erik ten Hag's replacement by Manchester United, but he is permitted to remain in Lisbon till the international break.

Amorim, 39, will be traveling to Old Trafford after Sporting's final match against Braga on Sunday night. In order to decide whether to retain Van Nistelrooy with the coaching staff, Amorim will be observing United's performance against the Foxes.

Even if we wouldn't anticipate Ineos to splash cash, Ruben Amorim is going to be able to evaluate his team before the transfer period in January opens. Viktor Gyokeres has won over United supporters, but a January transfer for the Sporting attacker is improbable.

However, Sverre Nypan of Rosenborg is rumored to be a top target, thus United might instead concentrate on another Scandinavian star. According to reports from August, United wants to recruit Nypan despite competition from Arsenal, a Premier League opponent. According to Give Me Sport, United thinks Nypan's profile would be a perfect fit for Amorim's future goals for the team.

When can Manchester United sign Sverre Nypan?

A decision over whether to proceed with an acquisition in January is anticipated soon because Manchester United does not want to miss out on Nypan. Nypan is already making an impression for Rosenborg and has been praised as a "generational talent" by one Norwegian scout.

With good cause, attacking playmaker Nypan has frequently been likened to fellow countryman Martin Odegaard. During the 2024 Eliteserien season, Nypan has made 25 appearances for Rosenborg, tallying seven goals as well as six assists. It makes sense why the Norwegian scout thinks Nypan is so good. The 17-year-old could end up being a future member of United, but Ineos has demonstrated a desire to bring in elite players.
