Struggling English Premier League giants, Manchester United have been linked with a January move for Norwegian midfielder, Mathias Normann who turns out for Russian club, Rostov according to Reports in the UK.
United languish 12th in the English Premier League table with nine points and coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is on the brink with various reports indicating that he could be shown the door if the Red Devils lose their next league match against in-form Liverpool who are yet to drop a point this season.
The club is expected has been plagued with numerous injuries and are set to make signings in January to beef up the playing unit. Among players linked with the club is Leicester City’s James Maddison and Ben Chilwell. Lyon’s Moussa Dembele, Spurs’ Christian Eriksen among others.
The latest player to be linked with a move to Old Trafford is the Rostov man. United are looking to beef up their midfield with Fred and Nemanja Matic struggling. The only midfielder who has looked consistent is academy prodigy Scot McTominay and Solskjaer wants to beef up the area by acquiring Normann who made his debut for the Norwegian national team in September 2019 during a Euro 2020 qualification match against Malta.
The pair worked together when Solskjaer was with Molde between 2017-2018 and the player is thought to be interested in making a switch to Old Trafford. Tottenham and Sevilla are also said to be closely monitoring the player with the view of making moves if they get impressed with him.
United are expected to offload Nemanja Matic in January with AC Milan and Inter Milan both interested. Fred could also find himself out of Old Trafford as it’s thought that the coaching staff believes he may never live up to to the 52 million price tag United paid to sign him in 2018.
