Manchester United supporters may not have been pleased witnessing Copenhagen’s Roony Bardghji securing an 87th-minute victory against the Red Devils in November’s Champions League encounter. However, this sentiment might soon change, as the 18-year-old phenom appears to be drawing attention from Old Trafford. Bardghji has showcased an impressive season in Denmark, tallying 11 goals in 30 matches across various competitions. His standout moment includes the decisive goal against Manchester United in a thrilling 4-3 Champions League clash, a performance that has undoubtedly piqued the interest of the Premier League giants.
Football Insider reports that both Manchester United and Manchester City have deployed scouts to closely monitor the Copenhagen sensation, raising the possibility of a potential move in 2024. The Manchester clubs have diligently stationed talent spotters at “every Copenhagen game” throughout the season, keenly observing the development of the teenage winger. Despite competition from other European clubs, Bardghji, a regular starter in Copenhagen’s team with 14 appearances in 17 league games this season, stands out as a coveted talent emerging from the Danish side’s academy.
As Manchester United gears up for 2024, the club is actively seeking wingers, particularly with Jadon Sancho’s impending departure and Antony’s struggles in a red shirt. Roony Bardghji, with his rising star and notable contributions, has become a promising candidate for the club’s consideration.
