Manchester United are understood to have made an offer
for Norwegian star Moa Abdellaoue.
The 23-year-old is a full international having made his debut
for Norway earlier this year against the Republic of Ireland.
He is now back in the squad for their match with Ukraine after
he helped Valerenga win the Norwegian Cup final.
A host of English clubs were present at the final when
Abdellaoue fired a brace and that has now seen the interest in the
striker intensify.
Now United have seemingly leapt to the front of the queue to
land the player after inviting him to train with them, something
which is possible given the domestic season in Norway has
finished.
It is reported in Norway that Jim Solbakken, Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer's agent, has helped to broker the move.
Valerenga would not confirm that Abdellaoue would be heading to
Old Trafford until the finer details had been settled.
"We can't comment on anything before we have anything
formalised," Valerenga director Pal Breen told Verdens Gang.
The player's personal advisor Erik Moe also refused to comment
on the United offer.
"This is up to Valerenga to comment," he said.
"Moa has only one focus now, and that is the international
against Ukraine on Wednesday. It is important."
