Manchester United fans choose Leicester midfielder as ideal transfer target

Manchester United fans want Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sign Leicester midfielder Wilfried Ndidi in the transfer market.

With Ander Herrera set to leave and Marouane Fellaini departing in January, United have a vacancy in midfield to fill this summer.

Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic had inconsistent seasons, while Fred, Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira showed flashes that they could step up themselves.

But Solskjaer will be keen to bolster his ranks, and has said he wants to target young players who will understand the responsibilities of playing for United.

And when MEN Sport asked fans who they would like to see targeted, fans backed Ndidi and his Leicester teammate Youri Tielemans to make the move to Old Trafford.

Of 6,315 fans asked, 35% identified Ndidi ans the midfielder they wanted to sign, while 26% wanted Leicester's on-loan Monaco midfielder Tielemans.

21% backed West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice, while 18% wanted PSG's Adrien Rabiot - who is available on a free transfer - to arrive at Old Trafford.

While Ndidi came out on top, fans made a case for all four players to sign.
