Manchester United face competition from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to sign FC Copenhagen star Roony Bardghji in the summer
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are challenging Manchester United for the signature of FC Copenhagen star Roony Bardghji in the summer. Bardghji has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe due to a steep rise in his reputation.
The 18-year-old has been a regular name in the senior team squad for Copenhagen, producing impressive performances consistently. Bardghji dominantly plays as a right winger for the club but his versatility allows him to play centrally as well.
Standing at 1.73 metres, Bardghji has a low centre of gravity which allows him to maintain balance in tight spaces. The Sweden U21 has the pace, close control and dribbling skills to get past any opponent with ease.
He has a deceptive strength that allows him to compete at any ground duels and outperform physically bigger defenders. The 18-year-old has the technical ability and intelligent movements to exploit space and build counter-attacks for his team.
Despite already having impressive senior-level experience, Bardghji possesses significant raw potential that clubs can further develop. He has made 30 appearances in all competitions this season, contributing with 11 goals so far.
Express reported that numerous clubs are actively vying for Bardghji’s signature, with Premier League clubs aware of the high competition. The 18-year-old’s steep rise in reputation has benefited Copenhagen as they would want the best price for their young asset.
United have Alejandro Garnacho and Antony as the right-wing options and they would want to strengthen their attack. Antony has failed to live up to the high price tag that United paid for him in 2022.
The Brazilian’s struggle has been costly for the Red Devils as it coincided with the dreadful season. United suffered a humiliating exit from the Champions League and the Carabao Cup early this season. Furthermore, they are currently sixth in the Premier League table, fighting to somehow achieve a top-four finish.

Bardghji played a big role in United’s early exit from the Champions League when his team beat the Red Devils. The 18-year-old has a high ceiling, and he is capable of playing immediately for the senior team. Bardghji is exactly the kind of profile that the club should be looking at, to bolster their attacking department.
