Manchester United face Premier League competition for £25m rated Real Madrid starlet

Martin Odegaard Real Madrid

Odegaard joined Real Madrid at 16 years-old in 2015 from Norwegian outfit Stromsgodset, after taking a saga that saw the prodigal youngster tour around Europe to find his best suited club.

After spending time playing in Madrid's youth teams, Odegaard began a series of consecutive loan spells at Heerenveen, Vitesse, and now Real Sociedad.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to be a big fan of his compatriot and will hope he can lure the playmaker to Old Trafford.

The Gunners see Odegaard as a natural replacement for Mesut Özil, who is seemingly out of favour under Unai Emery.

Manchester City and Liverpool are thought to see the 20-year-old as the key to their next stage of evolution as the Premier League's top two clubs.

All the interested parties believe they could snap Odegaard up for £25million - with the promise of regular top-flight football.

However, Zinedine Zidane is reportedly considering recalling Odegaard as he looks to remedy ongoing issues for Los Blancos.
