Everton star Iliman Ndiaye has made a stunning revelation that has caught the attention of Manchester United supporters, amidst suggestions that a transfer is on the cards.
Ndiaye on United’s radar
The upcoming summer transfer window is shaping up to be another busy one for United, who are expected to be on the lookout for attacking reinforcements following the anticipated permanent exits of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.
One player whose name keeps popping up is Ndiaye.
Since his move from Marseille in 2024, Ndiaye has enjoyed a meteoric rise, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous forwards. His lethal combination of pace and trickery has been the driving force behind Everton’s recent revival.
A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that United are leading the race to snap up the Senegal international, who is also of interest to Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Everton are said to value Ndiaye at £70m. The Toffees are under no pressure to sell, with them being in a strong financial position under the Friedkin Group and because Ndiaye’s contract runs until 2029.
David Moyes has also made it clear that he wants to continue working with Ndiaye.
While little had been heard about the player’s interest in joining United, that silence was shattered today by an astonishing revelation that has sent the fanbase into a frenzy.
Ndiaye’s revelation
Ndiaye spoke to FotMob and was asked about the favourite stadium he has played in.
He answered, “Favourite stadium I’ve played in is Old Trafford.”
“The atmosphere, the size. When we were like growing up, this was the stadium you wanna play in.”
Ndiaye’s comments are far from a definitive transfer request, but his decision to praise Old Trafford will undoubtedly be interpreted by many as a significant hint, guaranteeing that the speculation will continue to swirl.
Ndiaye will have the chance to showcase his talents against United next Monday when Michael Carrick’s men visit the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
