Everton Set Out Iliman Ndiaye Transfer Stance As Man Utd Consider Summer “Push” For Winger

BACK David Tully Feb 13th 2026 Everton may “refuse all offers” for Man Utd transfer target Iliman Ndiaye, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. Speaking to a href=”https://www.youtube.com/live/rLdOJj2jw4k?si=lDDOhs2Ehp_vRNgM&t=2566″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”> YouTube channel, Jacobs said he has been told that the Toffees are unlikely to consider selling the Senegalese international, even if a club like United “push” hard to secure his signature: “Having asked around to Everton sources, my view is that this could play out very similar to Jarrad Branthwaite, where anyone going for Ndiaye.” “Manchester United or another team may push and push and push and push, and actually Everton’s ambitious owners may do exactly what they did with Jarrad Branthwaite and refuse all offers.” Why do Man Utd want the player? Following the departure of Ruben Amorim, the club expect to play a 4-3-3 system under future managers, and there are a distinct lack of wide players in the first team squad. Amad and Bryan Mbeumo are the only genuine wingers. Patrick Dorgu is a converted wingback, while Matheus Cunha prefers to play in more central areas. Marcus Rashford is out on loan at Barcelona, and the La Liga champions have the option to sign him at the end of the season for €30m (£26m). Ndiaye is not the only target An approach for Antoine Semenyo was made in January, but the Ghanaian chose to join rivals Manchester City instead. RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande is being heavily scouted and is deemed the main alternative, but AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and Ndiaye are also thought to be under consideration. Who United ultimately decides to move for may depend on availability and price. Based on Jacobs’ remarks, it appears Ndiaye may be one of the hardest to sign, but we shall see how things develop over the coming months. Want more news on Man Utd?
