Manchester United will make a bid for Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi in January as they look to strengthen their midfield, according to reports.
The centre of the pitch has been highlighted as an area of weakness in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this season, and Fichajes writes that Ndidi is a top target for the Old Trafford club.
Solskjaer’s preferred midfield duo in the centre of his 4-2-3-1 formation this season has been Scott McTominay and Fred, and Ndidi does appear to be an upgrade after impressing at the King Power Stadium.
The Nigeria international has been a key man since his 2017 move from Genk, and is crucial at giving balance to Brendan Rodgers’ side.
He’s valued at €60 million (£51m) by Transfermarkt, but the Foxes may well hold out for a bigger sum than that, especially in the middle of the season.
Given his age – he turns 25 in December – and his extensive top-flight, European and international experience, he ticks all the boxes for the Red Devils scouts.
