United Lead Race for Schjelderup

Manchester United are in pole position to sign Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup, ahead of Barcelona in the race for the Norwegian talent.

The 21-year-old Norwegian has impressed with 7 goals and 4 assists in 36 appearances for Benfica this season. Schjelderup, whose contract runs until 2028, is described as a good dribbler with vision and long-range shooting ability.

United boss Michael Carrick could see Schjelderup add firepower to his attack, though questions remain about whether the young winger can cope with the physical demands of the Premier League.
