Jeremy Monga: Details of United’s talks for “fantastic” Leicester winger

Manchester United played out a goalless draw with Sunderland in what was a forgettable encounter at the Stadium of Light.

The Red Devils lacked a cutting edge away from home, managing just two shots on target. Fortunately for Michael Carrick, the stalemate is unlikely to have any bearing on where United finish.

However, ahead of next season, United are actively looking to strengthen their attacking options by bringing in proven stars as well as promising young talent for the future.

Manchester United in talks to secure £6m signing

On Friday, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Manchester United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, recently met with club officials from Leicester City.

It is believed United hold a firm interest in Leicester’s record-breaking winger Jeremy Monga, who made history as his club’s youngest Premier League player at 15 years and 271 days old last year.

Interestingly, it was United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy who gave Monga his first taste of senior football.

Last year, the former Leicester boss hailed Monga, stating: “He’s a great winger and has speed. He’s a fantastic talent, a great boy. He deserved these minutes and hopefully, more to come.”

According to the Daily Mirror (via ), United are currently leading the race to sign the 16-year-old electric winger, having opened talks with Leicester over a summer move.
