Only Michael Olise has delivered more assists in the Bundesliga than Ryerson in the Norwegian’s impressive season. 15 assists in the series, 18 in total. An offensive powerhouse of a right-back. Now World Cup matches await Norway, where big clubs will follow the 29-year-old closely. Iraq, Senegal and France await Ryerson in the group stage.
The same could apply to the Premier League. Manchester United have been closely linked to the Norwegian defender over the past month. A move from Old Trafford should open up for Ryerson signing.

Much has been written about Manchester United’s need to get rid of players this summer, such as Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte, but in the midst of this, Noussair Mazraoui’s poor season has gone under the radar. The 28-year-old has only started in 10 Premier League games, and has not given Diogo Dalot any real competition.
According to German Sky Sports, Manchester United are in the race to secure Borussia Dortmund full-back Julian Ryerson. The Norwegian has become one of the most prolific players in the Bundesliga, an excellent candidate to replace Mazraoui as a real competitor to Diogo Dalot.
Mazraoui was brought to Manchester United from Bayern Munich in 2024. If Ryerson is to enter Old Trafford, United must first sell the Moroccan international. The price tag on Ryerson should not be a problem for Man Utd, according to the German media, Dortmund open for Ryerson sale at a bid of 30 million euros.
This has been quite a journey for Ryerson, who left Vikinig in 2018 for Union Berlin, was picked up by Borussia Dortmund in 2023, with a Bundesliga title fight and Champions League final on his CV. A move to the world’s toughest league and Manchester United on the offensive with Michael Carrick at the helm sounds like a natural next step for the assist king.
