Manchester United are always on the lookout for young talent, which makes it no surprise that they are monitoring Leicester City’s Jeremy Monga.
Ever since Sir Jim Ratcliffe became co-owner at Manchester United, granting Ineos control of football operations at Old Trafford, there has been a clear emphasis on signing young talent.
Examples of that include Ayden Heaven, Patrick Dorgu, and Leny Yoro – but there have also been additions made to the academy such as Chido Obi, Sekou Kone and Diego Leon.
United are likely to sign more young talent this summer, with Leicester City’s Jeremy Monga emerging as a target.
