Norwegian footballer in transfer talk; midfield centerpiece
Norway has celebrated its World Cup run with a royal reception in Oslo after a 2-1 extra-time defeat to England. More than 100,000 fans line Karl Johans gate to welcome the team home, as players take part in an open-top bus parade despite minor delays from overhead cables.
United have already signed two midfielders this window and face injuries and departures that heighten the need for further reinforcements. Several targets are in play, with attention turning to a potential homegrown option as pre-season shows rising balance in midfield.
