Nypan scored his first senior goal on Saturday when he netted against Bodo Glimt, having made his debut at the age of 15 back in November.

And The Sun claim United have been following him closely and are set to ramp up their pursuit of the midfielder, who has been likened to former target Frenkie De Jong.

They report that the Red Devils have sent scouts to watch him multiple times this season.

However, the English giants are facing competition with clubs from Germany, Holland and Belgium all said to be interested.

Nypan has also represented Norway at U15 and U16 level.
