“Brilliant” Man Utd Target Told “Don’t Go To Manchester City” As Summer Move To Big Six Club Is Talked Up

BACK Pat Nevin believes Man Utd transfer target Iliman Ndiaye is “good enough” to play for one for the Big Six. The Red Devils are reportedly looking to strengthen their wide options this summer, and the Everton forward is among the list of names under consideration. Speaking to BestBettingSites, Nevin said that while he thinks Ndiaye has the ability to play for a top club, he has warned him not to join a team like Manchester City where he wouldn’t play week in, week out: “People look at the highlights, the goals and the assists. I look at the overall play and the effect he can have, considering he gets a limited amount of possession in the final third. Skill-wise, he’s right up there. Absolutely right up there. His game awareness is very good as well. His creativity is through the roof.” “If he was playing for Manchester City or Chelsea, you’d be talking about him all day long. The guy’s brilliant. There’s not even a shadow of a doubt he’s good enough to play for one of those teams. Here’s the caveat: don’t go to Manchester City and then not get a game. Don’t do that. Don’t do what Jack Grealish did and go to Manchester City, suddenly moving from being a player who is free and can do what he likes, playing brilliantly, to being slightly in and out of the team over a number of seasons because there are other brilliant players there. Wherever he ends up, if he does leave Everton, I hope he gets a game every week and is not one of a rotated six.” Ndiaye could cost a sizeable sum The Senegalese international’s contract at Everton expires in 2029, so the Toffees are not under any pressure to sell him at the end of the season. For that reason, there is good chance that United would have to stump up a significant sum of money to secure Ndiaye’s signature. Who are the other wingers that Man Utd could target? AC Milan pair Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao have been linked in recent weeks, but the main alternative to Ndiaye is said to be RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. The Red Devils are keeping close tabs on the 19-year-old, who is also attracting interest from the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea. Want more news on Man Utd?
