Manchester United are interested in signing Julian Ryerson this summer after monitoring the defender during his performances for Borussia Dortmund last season and at the World Cup.
The right back has established himself as one of the finest and most consistent Norwegian players competing abroad. His displays for Dortmund over recent seasons have earned widespread recognition, while he has also become the first-choice right back for the Norway national team through a series of dependable performances.
United continue to monitor Ryerson
United followed Ryerson closely throughout last season, which proved to be one of the strongest campaigns of his career. His form in Germany has reportedly convinced the club that he could strengthen their defensive options as they continue evaluating potential additions during the transfer window.
Ryerson has maintained an impressive level of performance over the past few months, and a move to the Premier League would provide him with the opportunity to test himself in one of the world’s most competitive leagues. His consistency for both club and country has made him an attractive option for teams seeking experience and reliability at right back.
As reported by Sporten, United are currently unable to complete a move for Ryerson unless they first sell one of their defenders. The club are said to be working hard to create space in the squad before making a formal move for the Norwegian.
Transfer depends on departures
United’s pursuit of Ryerson will therefore depend on whether they can complete an outgoing transfer in the coming weeks. Should they succeed in moving on one of their current defenders, their interest in the Borussia Dortmund player is expected to become more serious.
If no departure takes place, a transfer to Old Trafford could fail to materialise during this transfer window. However, Ryerson is not short of admirers, and other clubs are also monitoring his situation should he decide that the time is right to pursue a move.
His performances over the past year have ensured that he remains a sought-after defender, and his future is likely to remain a topic of discussion until the transfer window closes.
