Orjan Nyland emerged as one of the standout performers for the Norwegian national team during the 2026 World Cup, and his displays have reportedly attracted significant interest ahead of the new season. The experienced goalkeeper is now being tipped for a move to the Premier League as a free agent, with several clubs believed to be monitoring his situation closely.
Everton and Leeds United are among the clubs said to have been impressed by Nyland’s performances in North America. Both sides are reportedly keen to strengthen their goalkeeping options this summer and view the Norwegian as a player capable of adding quality and experience to their squads.
Manchester United enter the race
The interest in Nyland is not limited to Everton and Leeds United. As reported by Sporten, Manchester United have now emerged as the latest club to express an interest in signing the goalkeeper during the current transfer window.
The report states that the Red Devils have also been impressed by Nyland’s performances and are continuing to assess potential additions to strengthen their squad. His consistent displays on the international stage are believed to have increased his appeal, making him one of the goalkeepers attracting attention this summer.
Nyland would reportedly welcome the opportunity to join a leading club such as United. If the club decides to pursue a deal, it could become his preferred destination ahead of the other teams that have already made enquiries about his availability.
Transfer decision could depend on United
Under Michael Carrick, United is continuing to improve, and the upcoming season is expected to be highly competitive. Nyland’s experience could provide valuable depth and reliability, making him an attractive option if the club decides to strengthen its goalkeeping department.
While there is no certainty that a move will materialise, the reported interest suggests that Nyland remains firmly on the radar of several Premier League clubs. United’s admiration could develop into a genuine transfer pursuit if they choose to advance their interest before the transfer window closes. Should that happen, the goalkeeper would reportedly be keen to complete the move to Old Trafford.
