Last month, United sent scouts to watch Helland in action against Viking Stavanger. A week later, Bayern Munich also sent their scouts to observe him play against KFUM. This indicates that both teams are seriously considering signing him.
According to Norwegian sources, Helland has the potential to become the country's best ever centre-back. He is a tall and talented player, standing at 6 feet 5 inches.
Manchester United has a history of signing top Norwegian defenders, including Ronny Johnsen and Henning Berg. Both players have had successful careers with the club, winning Champions League titles.
