Man Utd fans think they are about to sign 'the next Martin Odegaard' after spotting huge social media clue

United have been linked with a January move for the player.

One of Europe's most sought after young talents has received a Manchester United-related Secret Santa gift from his teammates as he continues to be linked with a transfer.

Ruben Amorim has been tasked with 'maximising the untapped potential' of his squad as he looks to operate on a more modest budget compared to Erik ten Hag.

United's new manager will be given the opportunity to rebuild but it will require urgent sales, according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, who suggests United chiefs have agreed that over half of the players in the squad are 'serious candidates' for sale.

Last month, It was suggested that United are 'unlikely to be particularly active' in the January transfer window unless an opportunity presents itself.

That being said, a report from TBR Football claims United are 'confident' of signing highly-rated Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan in January for a fee of around £10 million.

Back in November, it was claimed United were 'working to try and conclude a deal' for the 17-year-old, who helped Norwegian side Rosenborg to fourth in the league with eight goals and seven assists.

And now, those rumours of a potential move to Old Trafford have intensified after Nypan received a Manchester United-related Secret Santa gift.

Rosenborg's official YouTube channel posted footage of the squad exchanging Secret Santa gifts and clearly, Nypan was delighted to receive a 2025 calendar featuring some of United's first-team players

The teenager can be seen smiling as he looks at the calendar, which includes Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Andre Onana on the cover.

A number of clubs have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Nypan, including Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

But the talented midfielder is a big fan of the Reds. "I've always been a Manchester United fan," Nypan told TV2 last year. "Then of course there is Real Madrid. I'm a big [Cristiano] Ronaldo fan. It's very unrealistic, but it's the dream."

In the past, the Norway under-21 international has been compared to Martin Odegaard by football expert Jesper Mathisen.

"Sverre Nypan is extremely exciting, and I get a bit of the same feeling as when I saw Martin Odegaard break through as a boy," he said after watching him play against Hearts in a Conference League qualifier.

Whether he can step up and replicate Odegaard by playing in the Premier League is another matter. Time will tell.
