FC Copenhagen are prepared to sell their winger Roony Bardghji with Manchester United one of the teams interested, according to reports.

Roony Bardghji has been linked with a move to the Premier League following his heroics against Manchester United in the Champions League.

After Erik ten Hag’s side went 3-2 up against the Danish side, they turned it around with a late goal from Bardghji effectively being the final nail in the coffin for the Red Devils’ chances of qualification.

It transpired that way, too, with the Danish side being the team to finish second in the group and advance to the knockout stages of the competition where they will face the current holders Manchester City.

Copenhagen ready to sell

According to a report from 90min, the Danish side are ready to cash in on the Swedish forward with Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea believed to be one of the sides with the biggest interest in the 18-year-old.

The Blues are reportedly keen to beat the queue of clubs to the winger’s signature and will look to reach an agreement with Copenhagen immediately – but with the forward making the move to west London at the end of the season.

The London club have signed a whole host of young, exciting players but the vast majority of them are either failing to make an impact or are too young to be involved with the first team at this moment in time.

United are one of several sides looking at the Swedish winger, with a host of Premier League clubs and European outfits believed to be keen on the free-scoring forward.

Prolific Bardghji

Across 30 games in all competitions this season, Bardghji has scored 11 goals for Copenhagen and he could be the exact type of forward the Red Devils need.

He has also featured eight times for Sweden’s under-21 team and has been tipped to break into the country’s first team sooner rather than later.

A goalscoring winger who is young enough to improve and develop with the team is exactly what the Red Devils need with Antony struggling to justify his price tag.

With his contract expiring in just 18 months, a move for the Swede could be a cost-effective deal, too.
