Ruben Amorim aims to rebuild his Manchester United squad this summer, by selling a number of players before he can bring some names in. They have already added Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and are set to sell the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony to generate some budget.
One area that will need improvement is in midfield. Last season, the Red Devils lacked both creativity, and solidity in the middle of the park, which was one of the reasons why they struggled. However, they could see a departure.
Midfielder Casemiro has reportedly been in talks over a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, to join up with Cristiano Ronaldo, who was his teammate during their time at Real Madrid. If Casemiro leaves, then United will need to find a replacement.
One name that United could decide to replace Casemiro with is Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi, who is likely to leave the Foxes after they were relegated from the Premier League, with former Man United interim Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
According to talkSPORT, United are interested in Ndidi alongside Premier League rivals Everton. Both sides were reportedly keen on him last summer when he was set to be a free agent, but instead the 28-year-old signed a new contract with Leicester.
The report says that the Nigerian is available for a cut-price this summer, as he has a £9 million release clause in his contract. It also states that Ndidi is on the radar of several Saudi Pro League clubs too, but with the opportunity to play for a big Premier League team such as Man United, Ndidi would surely be tempted to come to Old Trafford.
The 28-year-old is very highly regarded by his teammates and coaches, a player who is arguably underappreciated. Former Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was quoted in the Leicester Mercury, describing him as “irreplaceable”. He even said that he was “one of the top players in world football” during his time with the Foxes.
