Manchester United fans are living their best lives with their fantastic summer signing so far but the feeling has left them wanting more in the person of Wilfred Ndidi.
The signing of Jadon Sancho was like a dream come true for most of the Man United fans because the club had been in pursuit of the player since last season.
United’s recruitment team did a good job securing the youngster for a lesser price than the initial asking price last season.
To add to the excitement, the Red Devils also completed the signing of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid for a bargain price.
The club feels that Varane would be the best player to partner Harry Maguire at the heart of their defence.
The Frenchman was an integral part of Real Madrid’s European dominance and France’s World Cup-winning squad. Hence, he has a lot of experience in European football at both club and international levels.
Varane is an excellent signing by the club and this goes to show the club’s desire to come back strong and fight for trophies.

Despite securing both players, United fans have been left wanting more. With reports suggesting Paul Pogba has refused to sign a contract extension, and with PSG showing a lot of interest for the player, most Manchester United fans believe Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi would be the ideal signing to wrap up their beautiful transfer window this summer.
Ndidi has consistently been among the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League. The player would be a top signing for any team because of what he offers in his position.
The Nigeria international breaks opponents’ attack while shielding the defenders and he is also very good at aerial duels and tackling.
Ndidi won the FA Cup with Leicester last season. He also had the best tackle success rate in the Premier League and if he played a bit forward he could be crucial in attack as well.
Often underrated, the 24-year-old has been at the centre of Leicester City’s success in the league as the club always suffers in his absence.
These are some of the reasons Man United fans want Ndidi but the Foxes won’t let the player go easily though. If they have to, it will be at a high price as the player is rated among the best defensive midfielders in the world.
The Manchester United fan base is very influential but whether this particular dream will materialize, only time will tell. Do you think the Nigerian would be a good addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team? Let us know in the comments section.

Ndidi has been one of the best defensive midfield player in the EPL for a couple of years now and that has been a position man United has been lacking in. Even if Pogba stays, Ndidi in front of that defense will be a huge upgrade and may very well make United one of the most complete teams in the EPL.
I agree with you. Manchester United lack a natural defensive midfielder
