Manchester United fans believe Leicester City's James Maddison would be a good signing this summer transfer window.
United have taken an interest in the England Under-21 playmaker, with a fee of around £60million touted.
Maddison fits the profile of signing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to make and enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Leicester in 2018/19 following a £20million move from Norwich City 12 months ago. He claimed seven goals and seven assists and scored more free kicks (three) than anyone else in the Premier League — and more than United's players combined (three).
And in response to a poll run by MEN Sport which posed the question: "For £60million, would James Maddison be a good signing for Manchester United?" 62 per cent of respondents answered yes.
A share of 38 per cent (of around 6,000 respondents) answered no, suggesting United fans believe Maddison would be worth the financial gamble. The Reds paid £52million to Shakhtar Donetsk for Fred last season and require further midfield recruits this summer following Ander Herrera's departure.
Maddison is believed to have been a United fan when he was younger and made his Premier League debut for Leicester at Old Trafford on the opening day of last season, "To do it at Man United – there is no bigger stage than Old Trafford – is a great feeling, one I won’t forget.
“I had a good touch, I hit it hard, the shot was towards the corner. I thought when I hit it, ‘I’ve scored here.’ But (David De Gea) managed to spring and get a hand to it.
“I couldn’t believe it at the time but that is the step-up we talked about.”
