The new Brexit rules say that no English club is allowed to sign a player under the age of 18 from outside of the UK.
With Nypan turning 18 this December, the earliest United could make a move officially for the talented wonderkid would be in the January transfer window.
However Christopher Michel has now reported that United aren’t the only Premier League side to be interested in Nypan.
According to the journalist, Eric ten Hag’s side look set to face off against Arsenal in order to sign the Norwegian.
Previously when asked about the interest from United Nypan was flattered to be linked to such a prestigious club, however said that he would much rather focus on his future at Rosenberg for the time being,
This led to speculation that United may make a move to sign him in January, however send him straight back on loan to Rosenberg to see out the rest of the season.
If Arsenal are in fact interested in signing the 17-year-old, United will need to make a move on this very quickly so they don’t miss out on what could be an incredible talent of the future.
