Man United turned January move for Wilfred Ndidi down

Man United reportedly turned down the chance to sign former Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi in January.

The 29-year-old left Leicester City after eight years and 303 appearances for Turkish giants Besiktas last summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Ndidi was offered to Man United in January as an addition for their midfield, but the chance was turned down.

Speaking on his Here We Go podcast, Romano said: “In terms of incomings, I can tell you that Wilfred Ndidi, former Leicester midfielder now at Besiktas, was offered as an opportunity to Man United.

“A low‑cost option, the player was very keen on the move, but United decided immediately not to proceed. They had the chance to do something like a low‑cost deal, but they chose against it.”
