Sverre Nypan has made his demands known ahead of a move to Manchester United, according to reports.
It's been suggested that the Rosenborg player is hoping to secure first-team assurances about making the switch to Ruben Amorim's side.
The Portuguese coach was employed as Erik ten Hag's successor last week and will be in the dugout for his first United game against Ipswich Town on Sunday.

It's thought, despite previous reports, that Amroim will have a say on transfers, working in tandem with sporting director Dan Ashworth ahead of the January window.
One name linked to the Old Trafford is Nypan. GiveMeSport have revealed that "United are leading the race to sign Nypan but he is carefully considering his preferred destination after gaining widespread interest and wants to ensure he is in line for regular game time if he opts to embark on a fresh challenge away from Rosenborg in 2025"

Quite remarkably, Rosenborg chief Mikael Dorsin has suggested that the 17-year-old will only leave for a club record and believes that the teenager can be the next Martin Odegaard.
The Eliteserien club are in a good position. Chelsea, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are the other clubs linked with the player, meaning that a bidding war is possible.
The Norway under-21 international's contract won't expire until late 2026 and it's not clear whether he would be willing to sign fresh terms.
Nypan on future
Recently, Nypan was told that moving to Old Trafford at such a young age would be detrimental to his career. Norwegian pundit Yaw Amankwah advised the midfielder to only leave Rosenborg for a club where he will regularly play and continue his development.
“When I hear names like Manchester United, I think it would be a bad idea,” Amankwah told TV 2. “I hope he ends up on a step that won't be too big, a place where he can continue his development, with plenty of playing time.”
Over the summer Nypan spoke about the links with elite sides but he insisted that he is remaining level-headed about everything.
“To be completely honest. The only thing I care about is getting back to the shape I was in before the illness,” Nypan told TV 2. “I didn't know about [the interest], so I don't really think about it that much.
“That's how it's always going to be, so there's nothing to worry about. I have to learn and deal with it, and I feel that I do.”
