Man Utd scout Madrid starlet Odegaard but face transfer tussle with Arsenal and Liverpool for winger
MANCHESTER UNITED are watching Martin Odegaard but have rivals for the Real Madrid whizkid.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants his fellow Norwegian in the young team he is putting together.
The winger, 20, has impressed on loan at Real Sociedad this season and attracted the attention of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, as well as United.
Clubs reckon they can land him for £25million next summer with an offer of regular Premier League football — should Los Blancos opt to cash in.
Odegaard was called up to Norway’s senior squad at just 15-years-old.
He moved to the Bernabeu from Stromsgodset at 16 but had just two senior outings.
However, his hot form at Sociedad has seen Zinedine Zidane consider recalling him from his loan.
Reports claim Los Blancos have an option in his deal to bring him back to the Bernebau just months after appearing to be cast into the wilderness.

Odegaard has since been in terrific form, scoring twice and assisting once in just six appearances to be named Player of the Month.
No player has also created more chances in the Spanish top-flight so far this season than the Norway International.
Now Premier League giants have joined the race to land his signature, with Arsenal hoping he can be a long-term replacement for flop Mesut Ozil.
