Having completed the long-awaited transfer of Brian Mbeumo, Manchester United have accelerated their efforts in the transfer market to strengthen weak areas of the squad.
The English giants have begun talks with Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as they look to reinforce their midfield.
The 28-year-old is widely expected to part ways with Leicester City.
Several top clubs from Germany, Italy, England, and Spain are showing strong interest in the Super Eagles star.
Last season’s signing for the same role, Manuel Ugarte, failed to meet expectations at Manchester United.
As a result, the club sees Ndidi — who has a €9 million release clause — as a quality and cost-effective alternative.
If personal terms are agreed upon with the player, Manchester United will open formal negotiations with Leicester City.
However, given United’s strong financial position, they could still secure the deal by activating the release clause, even if an agreement with Leicester is not reached.
