Manchester United is reportedly considering a bold transfer move for Iliman Ndiaye, the Everton winger. However, according to Sky Sports, the likelihood of this deal materializing this summer appears slim, primarily due to the Senegal international having three years remaining on his Everton contract.

Previously linked with Manchester United, TEAMtalk suggested that signing Ndiaye could cost around £70 million this summer. Despite his talent, the Red Devils may prioritize other positions, especially after investing heavily in an entirely new front three last year.

Key points include:

• Manchester United's spending: Significant resources were allocated for Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko last summer.
• Contract situation: Everton is under no pressure to sell Ndiaye, making a protracted negotiation unlikely.
• Current team dynamics: It's uncertain whether Ndiaye would fit into the MUFC attack given their existing options.

Moreover, United faces pressing needs in midfield, particularly with Casemiro leaving at the end of his contract and Manuel Ugarte potentially being offloaded.

Interest in Ndiaye is not limited to United, as Arsenal has also shown interest, although no concrete steps have been taken yet. Arsenal may require a left-sided player more urgently than United, making this a developing story to watch as the summer progresses.
