- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
HITC Football understands Werder Bremen have agreed a deal with Manchester United for starlet Isak Hansen-Aaroen.
The 19-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance for Manchester United, but has impressed at the younger age levels and is highly-regarded.
Isak Hansen-Aaroen’s contract at Old Trafford expires this summer and new terms have been offered to the attacking midfielder – All you need to know about the done deals this January.
But sources have confirmed to HITC Football that the young Norwegian turned down the offer of a new deal at Manchester United.
With his current deal due to expire in the summer, Manchester United have now accepted the deal with Werder Bremen, which includes a sell-on – All you need to know about when the January transfer window closes.
‘The next Martin Odegaard’
A recent report on talkSPORT likened Hansen-Aaroen to his fellow countrymen and Arsenal star, Martin Odegaard.
This was only as recently as November when the highly-rated Norwegian star was impressing the Manchester United faithful.
But months later and now he is set to depart and try to help a Werder Bremen team sitting ninth in the Bundesliga table.
Five points separate Ole Werner’s men and a place in Europe, and with the second half of the season underway, that’s a realistic aim for the German club.
This was a team that, only a few weeks ago, shocked champions Bayern Munich by securing a deserved 1-0 win at the Allianz Arena, so Hansen-Aaroen will be entering a very competitive environment.
