Man United prospect hints at potential January exit after summer 'disagreement'

The 19-year-old spent much of his youth career at his hometown club of Tromso in Norway before singing for United in 2020.

He is yet to make a senior appearance for the club but is a regular for their Premier League 2 side.

Hansen-Aaroen was called up to training by Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag last month and attracted loan interest from clubs in England and across Europe.

A move away didn't materialise in the summer but the midfielder has hinted that such an opportunity could arise again in January.

"When the chance comes, you have to be ready. It can come suddenly. What I'm doing now is just making sure that when the chance comes, I'll be ready to take it."

However, when questioned if a loan move could take place in January, Hansen-Aaroen said: "Yes, possible. There is a lot of interest.
