Manchester United have made a shock move for Leicester City youngster as they intend to spice up their attack for next season, MySportDab reports.
The Red Devils are having a field day in the English elite division under interim manager Michael Carrick, but are eyeing reinforcements in critical areas to sharpen up for next season.
Leicester City winger Jeremy Monga is now one of their top attack targets as they double down on shaping up for the next campaign.
Monga has been a re-hot target for Premier League clubs following his impressive stats with Leicester City.
Leading the pursuit of EPL clubs laying siege for the youngster are Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
Before Leicester City’s relegation to the second division last season, Monga had already stolen hearts with his promising performances.
He became one of the youngest players to feature in the Premier League after debuting for the Foxes at age 15 and 271 days.
He has now won 20 caps with the Foxes and is regarded as one of the top young talents to watch out for in the near future.
His future with Leicester City has come under heavy scrutiny as the Foxes near relegation to the third division.
Notably, the 16-year-old winger hasn’t signed a professional contract with Leicester City as he has yet to turn 17, further stoking speculations on his future.
According to close sources, United have now shown a strong interest in the player, but are likely to face stiff competition from other Premier League heavyweights.
Moreover, interests in Monga are understood not to be limited only to the Premier League, with European giants Real Madrid, Serie A juggernauts Juventus, and German giants Borussia Dortmund also watching the player’s situation.
