Manchester United have increased their interest in Wilfred Ndidi as they rebuild their midfield after the exit of Casemiro – SuperEaglesNG.com reports. The club continues to reshape its squad ahead of the new season after missing out on several key transfer targets.
United view Ndidi as a cheap and reliable option who can add balance to the midfield. Coaches like his strong tackling, smart positioning, and ability to shield the defence. These strengths are seen as important because the team has struggled to stay solid in big matches.
Reports from Footy-Africa and The Peoples Person state that United have followed the Nigeria international for a long time. They first considered signing him during his Leicester City spell and have now returned to the idea after his move abroad.
Ndidi now plays for Besiktas, where he has kept steady form since leaving England. He plays regularly and helps control games with simple passing, hard work, and discipline. He has become a key player in the squad.
His performances have also attracted interest from Hull City, who want experienced players to support their promotion plans. Clubs in Saudi Arabia are also monitoring him, which increases competition for his signature.
Transfer Feasibility, Fee, and Contract Situation
Besiktas value him at around €8 million and are open to offers. Internal changes at the club have made his future less certain, which could speed up talks if bids arrive.
Ndidi built his reputation at Leicester City, where he made over 200 appearances in eight years. He won the FA Cup and Community Shield and became known as one of the Premier League’s most consistent defensive midfielders.
He also remains an important player for the Nigeria national football team, offering leadership, calm play, and experience in major tournaments.
Manchester United continue to assess midfield options as the window progresses. Ndidi stands out because he is available, experienced in English football, and relatively affordable, making him a practical target.
A move would take him back to the Premier League and make him only the second Nigerian to play for Manchester United after Odion Ighalo.
