Wednesday, January 21, 2026 - Manchester United have held talks to sign Besiktas midfielder Wilfred Ndidi before the end of the winter transfer window, according to former Sky Sports journalist Alan Myers.
It was gathered that Man United wants to bring the
Nigerian international to the Old Trafford club, and Myers has shared an
update.
Ndidi is open to joining the Red Devils as he wants to
return to England a year after leaving Leicester City for Turkey.
The 29-year-old spent nine years with the Foxes, playing 303
games during the eight seasons, they spent in the English top-flight, and Man
United could do with his experience.
Their head coach, Michael Carrick would be open to
strengthening his options in the middle of the park, and Ndidi fits the bill.
Man United have Casemiro in the role, but Ndidi could be
brought in for quality competition and cover.
The former Leicester star can also play as a centre-back
having actually started his career there, and his versatility could come in
handy at the Theatre of Dreams.
His strengths include winning aerial duels, tackling,
blocking, and intercepting the ball, and Man United have been crying out for
such a type of player in their midfield.
