Manchester United may have a golden opportunity to sign Charlotte FC wonderkid Nimfasha Berchimas, as Bayern Munich pull out of the race.
The teenager is considered one of the most exciting young talents in North America. At the age of 17, the winger isn’t yet eligible to sign for a European club. However, he will turn 18 later this month, raising alarm bells across the Old Continent.
Berchimas has already made himself familiar with European football, having trained at two of the biggest clubs on the European continent: Man Utd and Bayern Munich. The American even took part in a U18 contest at Carrington between the Red Devils and Burnley.
In recent days, circulating reports claimed that Bayern have intensified their attempts to land Berchimas. However, Christian Falk has swiftly rubbished these reports.

In his latest column for CF Bayern Insider, the reliable German journalist insisted that the Bavarian giants are unlikely to make a concrete move for the American youngster, at least not anytime soon.
“Berchimas is known to Bayern; he was involved in a training session for Bayern Munich (and also with Manchester United), but it’s not hot at the moment,” explained Falk
“At the moment, it doesn’t seem like a move is going to happen. We have to wait and see what happens in the future, but I can’t say this is a done deal at present.”
With Bayern temporarily ruling themselves out of the race, United may be able to reach the finish line first, should they act swiftly and decisively.
Carrington already hosts some outstanding young talents, the likes of Shea Lacey and JJ Gabriel, but Berchimas would be a sweet addition to the club’s youth ranks.
Moreover, Man Utd are planning to sign a new left winger in the summer. Albeit the American-Brundian remains too green for an immediate first-team role, perhaps he could get glimpses of senior action next season if he manages to impress with the club’s youth teams.
Berchimas is currently tied to Charlotte with a contract valid until December 2026, but it includes an option for another year.
