- متحد and Bayern tracking Helland
- Compared by Brann coach to رودري
- Could be long-term successor to Harry Maguire
وفق الشمس United scouted Helland at a recent match and may view him as the long-term successor to Harry Maguire. بايرن ميونيخ are also scouting the النرويج Under-21 international and may rival the Red Devils for his signature, though he was sent off in his side’s defeat to KFUM with a Bayern representative present.
Maguire has just a year left on his contract and after focusing on attacking improvements so far this summer, United must spend some time working on a succession plan for the إنجلترا international. Helland received the high praise of a comparison with Ballon d’Or holder Rodri by Brann coach Freyr Alexandersson prior to the beginning of the Norwegian domestic campaign and الشمس‘s report states he has “the potential to be the best centre-back Norway has ever produced”.
The 6’5 defender is composed on the ball despite his commanding physical presence and has been known to spray accurate, long-range passes out to the wings. بوروسيا دورتموند and Red Bull Salzburg are also aware of the potential of Helland, who recently captained Norway’s U21s in a 4-0 victory over ويلز.
Whether or not a move to Old Trafford is to materialise, the young defender is expected to continue being scouted by some of Europe’s biggest clubs as he develops. Man Utd are also targeting other positions such as a new striker and a midfielder, amid links with the likes of Ollie Watkins, Benjamin Sesko and Javi Guerra.
