Manchester United is tracking 15-year-old Norwegian winger Gabriel Rajkovic, who currently plays for Valerenga. The teenager, recognized as the youngest player to appear in the Norwegian top flight, has attracted attention from several clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Liverpool. Separately, the club remains interested in Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde.

Balde’s future may depend on his ability to secure regular first-team minutes at Barcelona. In addition to potential signings, Manchester United has secured a contract extension for midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who has established a consistent role under manager Michael Carrick.
