Manchester United 'considering swoop for Leicester City duo' and other transfer rumours

Manchester United are reportedly interested in bringing Leicester City duo James Maddison and Youri Tielemans to Old Trafford in the summer.

United could look altogether different in the summer what with at least two bids in to takeover the club. Despite this, the Reds are still planning for the transfer window at the end of the campaign as they look to push on from Erik ten Hag's good start.

According to Football Transfers, the Foxes' duo are being looked at as potential signings for United. Maddison has been one of Leicester's star players this season having bagged nine goals and five assists in 19 appearances.

This form earned him a call-up to the England squad for the World Cup is a wildcard option but he failed to make an appearance in Qatar. As for Tielemans, the Belgian has been a key player in Leicester's midfield since he arrived at the King Power.

The 25-year-old's contract is due to expire at the end of the season and it is highly likely that he will be a free agent come the summer. Elsewhere, despite his increased playing time in recent weeks, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is reportedly weighing up whether to leave Old Trafford in the summer or not.

At the beginning of Ten Hag's reign, Wan-Bissaka looked to be destined to leave United with Diogo Dalot the comfortable first choice at right-back. However, when the Portuguese defender was injured post-World Cup, the Englishman stepped in and has performed superbly.

But, according to Football Insider, this is not enough to convince the 25-year-old to remain at the Theatre of Dreams. It is suggested that Wan-Bissaka is not willing to be a back-up option and would be looking for a more crucial role with another team.
