Forget Matic – Man United must revive interest in this 22-year-old PL midfielder to challenge Liverpool next season Published 4 weeks ago on April 11, 2019 By Rohan Sengupta


Manchester United Opinion: Why Wilfred Ndidi will be a top fit at United?

Back in April 2018, the Daily Mail claimed Manchester United were one of the Premier League clubs interested in Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi.

Wilfred Ndidi, 22, has established himself as one of the hottest midfield prospects in the Premier League with his consistent displays for Leicester City over the past two seasons. But it is quite fascinating that the Nigerian international doesn’t get the praises he deserves.

The midfield powerhouse has played 32 games in the league, scoring two goals so far this season. Ndidi has again impressed in Leicester colours which should prompt Manchester United to reignite their interest and sign him in the summer.


Manchester United have given the manager’s job to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a permanent basis until June 2022 and the Norwegian will be looking to bring back the glory days at the club with several key signings in the summer. The Metro claims Solskjaer is ready to offload as many as six players in what will be a massive summer overhaul ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

The 46-year-old will be handed significant funds to spend in the transfer window regardless of whether the team qualifies for Champions League next season or not. And Solskjaer wants to reinforce at full-back, centre-back, central midfield and wide midfield with funds raised from the sales of six players, adds the report.

As far as midfield is concerned, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata’s deals are expiring at the end of the season and while the duo are negotiating new deals, there’s little guarantee that either will stay. If Herrera and Mata leave, United will be left with Paul Pogba, Fred, Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay as options in central midfield.


If Solskjaer’s red army are to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool for the title next season, they need to bolster their midfield options. They need a replacement for Matic as the Serb doesn’t quite fit Solskjaer’s style of play at Old Trafford. That being said, Wilfred Ndidi would be a straight upgrade for Matic.


Ndidi is a midfield general who can be destroyer, dictator of the game and score long-range belters for his team. An excellent tackler, the Nigerian reads the game very well and positions himself accordingly to snuff out the danger before it turns bigger. He is a very good passer of the ball and knows to keep things simple when required.

Verdict
The former Genk man will be fantastic for United, who need a disciplined, composed engine-room technician to break up play and dictate the flow of the game. Hence, the Red Devils should do everything in their powers to sign Ndidi in the summer.

Defenders(and Goalkeepers) need to start small if he goes to Galatasaray he will spend a valuable amount of his development on the bench

A good outing at the world cup will do him a lot of good.
By the way, you talk like someone who follows the club, do you know their starting defenders without consulting google?

andrew444:
Who is celebrating? you should delay your celebration and not us

I dont know when Naby Keita is now Modric or one top midfielder in the world

Lol.
You are definitely one of those celebrating over his injury
Did I mention ur name or are you now "some people?"

Some people think Naby Keita will miss the AFCON but Guinea boss has said there is a possibility of him playing in the tournament, so let's delay the celebrations and wait for the Doctors to decide.

why are you telling us?

U too sef dey wonder abi?

Kenya Coach Migne Rejects Proposal To Face Super Eagles In Friendly Ahead AFCON 2019


Harambee Stars of Kenya head coach Sebastian Migne has rejected a proposal to have his team square up with Nigeria in a friendly game ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, Completesports.com reports.

The East Africans who will compete at the AFCON finals for the first time in 15 years will train in Paris, France for three weeks ahead of the tournament.

Football Kenya Federation president Nick Mwendwa has repeatedly confirmed that the body was working round the clock to secure a high profile build-up games for the Harambee Stars.

There are reports that the Harambee Stars could line up against Nigeria and Tunisia before the AFCON finals this summer in Egypt, but Frenchman, Migne, is not keen on the proposal.

“Playing away in Abuja or Tunis with the probability of a heavy defeat just before the tournament starts may not help the team’s confidence,” a source told Nairobi News.

“Then the proposed dates for these matches are too close to the tournament and there is that possibility of getting injuries. You also have to factor in the weather.”

Kenya could however face Madagascar, Uganda or Ivory Coast in France, with Migne expected to name his 30-man squad for the French camp this week.

I don't think ball playing abilities are learned they are inborn, I would advise Ndidi to improve what he already has which is goal threat, he has to practice his shot and heading

Spending an eternity with Rodgers will not turn him into Pirlo

Nawa for u o
So what's your solution to Ndidi's "problem" as a "SE fan"?
He should quit football?

Earthquake3:
Would it be wise to return to standard liege where he is not valued or play in Spanish segunda with Rayo

Unfortunately, both options aren't rated br Rohr

The Highly feared and revered Senegalese under 17 team is currently struggling and now needs an outright win against group leaders Cameroon to stand any chance of qualifying for the Semifinals and the World Cup. The race is certainly not to the Swift. Selah

No they aren't. They are the same especially as they fall into the same year.
Eligible players for both the CAF U-17 and FIFA U-17 tournaments for 2019 must be born on or after January 1st 2002. Now some kids at 17 already this year may still get knocked out by the MRI due to the complete fusion of their growth plates in the left wrist.

Really glad for Samson Tijani. I remember a review by thesupernerd here tagging the lad as one to really watch. From the few clips I saw of him, he brings a good bit of Pogba to mind. I wish the team all the best today.

Please can we see the clips?

tbaba1234:
The captain Samson Tijani is on the borderline of the MRI test. There are fears that he might not pass the one in Tanzania.

With him on d borderline now, it means there is little hope of him playing at the world cup if Nigeria qualifies.

Some of your under 17 boys.

Mubaraq Gata Adeshina (L)
Olakunle Olusegun(R)

Wao. Wonderful!!!. In 5 years time after the boys might have made it, some people somewhere will from nowhere start arguing hard that this boys are 33 years.
Some people no just get conscience

Still our U-17 boys. In 5years time after the boys might have made it, some people somewhere will from nowhere start arguing hard that this boys are 35 years

Our Eaglets

Good luck to our boys

Britishcoins:
We don't have under 17, we have 25 yrs men playing football

This boy (on no 14 jersey) is one of the star players of the current u-17 team. How old do you think he is?

Ndidi starts for Leicester, Nigerian legend Iheanacho on the bench

Abeg leave Iheanacho, let him face his work. He is not even worthy of a place on our bench presently. The guy's career is down now and everyone knows that. The way some of us mock players in the name of "constructive criticism" leaves much to be desired.

''We are missing players like Ola Aina, Samuel Kalu, Ighalo, he has been replaced but normally he's the striker. We are missing Ahmed Musa our captain.''

Rohr's comment before Egypt match





Wetin do Mikel and Rohr na? Is Musa the captain now

“Window for new player invitations to Super Eagles is closed. We will continue to scout but no new invitations for Africa Cup Of Nations.”

Rohr

No new players for AFCON, Uduokhai inclusive?

darkelf:
E be like say Germany no sure for the guy again

I don't think it was ever sure for him at any time. That's why Akpoguma's case always leave me baffled

“We are looking at Efe Ambrose, Maduka Okoye, Felix Uduokhai & a host of other players with a view to seeing them in the colours of Nigeria. If they perform better than those we already have, they have a chance of being included in the final (AFCON) preparation”, the coach said

Rohr speaks

I just pity Akpoguma. Uduokhai Don wise up

Good result. How I wish I could see the link to the full match. I want to see how we played

tbaba1234:
Remember, i talked about NFF talking to some players about switching.

Well 3 German born Nigerians have agreed and have obtained their passports.

Who are they bro?. This is good news

South Africa is going to Egypt

South Africans must be praying now. The deciding of their fate starts by 6pm

My guy you don start abi? so you wan use one game judge onuachu? just as EEGA use judge onyekuru?

Even going by the video highlights of Onuachu (which was suppose to be a collection of his best performance in his career so far) that I watched, I wasn't overly impressed. Not expecting much from him in the GWG.
