Manchester United are thinking over the idea of making a move for 20-year-old Norwegian defensive sensation Eivind Helland.

According to Give Me Sport, Norwegian defensive sensation Eivind Helland is a target for Manchester United this summer. The Red Devils are pondering investing in the stocks of the 20-year-old defender, who can play multiple roles and might cost around £7 million from Norwegian club Brann.

Manchester United are about to move with some more purpose in the transfer market after a recent breakthrough. Ruben Amorim still needs many positions covered in the market, with plenty of time left to make transfers.

Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign Bryan Mbeumo, with the Cameroonian international seen as a vital piece of business for the immediate and long-term future of this team. He has followed Matheus Cunha, who was an early arrival this summer. The Red Devils are now ready to switch their attention towards other positions of the pitch, although they are still very much in search of a new striker.

There are links to Galatasaray midfielder Gabriel Sara, and there is a clear need to reinforce the middle part of the pitch. A goalkeeper is also high on their agenda, with Royal Antwerp star Senne Lammens the latest to be linked. Amorim also wants to reinforce the backline, although that is an area that has enough personnel at the moment.

The idea for Amorim is to bring in a versatile profile that could allow him some degree of flexibility in a system that requires a wing-back and a back three. They are now keeping close tabs on 20-year-old Norwegian defensive sensation Eivind Helland from Brann, and there is a chance they make a move.

Eivind Helland on Manchester United’s radar

Helland has proven himself to be an up-and-coming talent in Norway, as he is also a regular for his club Brann. The Norwegian side are aiming to keep him for another season before making the sale, as the defender’s current deal expires in December 2026.

Manchester United’s observers have been impressed with the defender’s performances during a recent trip to watch him in action. There is a positive feeling about Amorim being keen on the  20-year-old Norwegian defensive sensation, which could make the club think about making an offer in the region of £7 million, as that could be enough to tempt Brann into a sale.
