Manchester United are monitoring Brann midfielder Eivind Helland as they continue efforts to rebuild their squad during the summer window. The Red Devils, now under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, are aiming to strengthen key areas ahead of the new campaign, and Helland has emerged as a player of interest.
United’s Scouts Track Promising Talent in Norway
------------------------------------------------
Helland has impressed with his performances in the Norwegian top flight and has developed into one of the standout talents in the Eliteserien in recent seasons. The 20-year-old is already being tipped for a move to a bigger club, and Manchester United appear to be positioning themselves to secure his signature.
According to [VG](https://www.vg.no/sport/i/gwMRo5/viking-ydmyket-av-brann-i-kokende-bergen), the English side had scouts present at Brann’s recent fixture against Viking. Helland started the match and played the full ninety minutes, giving United representatives a chance to observe his performance in a competitive setting. The midfielder did not disappoint, as Brann stunned Viking with a 3-1 victory on home soil. Viking have enjoyed a strong season, but Brann showed determination to overcome the challenge and secure the win.
Helland Could Make Rare Leap to Premier League
----------------------------------------------
While transfers directly from the Norwegian league to the Premier League are relatively rare, Manchester United’s continued interest in Helland suggests they believe he has the potential to succeed at a much higher level. The fact that they have tracked him for some time indicates this is not a reactionary move but part of a longer-term plan to identify emerging talent early.
Brann’s development of young players has drawn more attention in recent years, and Helland is among the most highly regarded in their current squad. Should United proceed to make a formal move, it would mark a significant step for both the player and the club.
For now, Helland remains with Brann, but with Manchester United watching closely, there may be further developments as the window progresses.
