Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Roma defender Evan Ndicka.
The Italian side are hoping to sign Joshua Zirkzee from the Premier League club, with Manchester United showing interest in the Ivorian defender.
Man United keen on Evan Ndicka
According to a report from AS Roma Live, Manchester United have asked about the defender during exploratory talks regarding Zirkzee.
It remains to be seen whether Roma are ready to let Ndicka leave the club. He has a contract with the Italian club until 2028 and Manchester United may have to spend a reasonable sum to sign him.
The 26-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Italian club since joining on a free transfer in 2023.
Man United need Ndicka
It’s no secret that Manchester United need more quality in their defensive unit. Signing the Ivorian defender would be ideal for them. It will help them tighten up at the back.
He has the physique and technical qualities of English football, and he could make an immediate impact at Manchester United.
The Red Devils have looked quite vulnerable in defense this season. They hope to play in the UEFA Champions League, and the need for quality players is there. They need to address the weaknesses in the side, and recruiting a reliable defender would be ideal.
Ndicka is at the peak of his career and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. A move to Old Trafford would be ideal for him.
The 26-year-old has the qualities to compete at the highest level and he will look to establish himself as an important player for Manchester United.
If they manage to sign him for a reasonable fee, the deal could prove to be a masterstroke for Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Zirkzee has no future at Manchester United and joining Roma could be ideal for him. He played his best football with Bologna in Italy, and returning to his comfort zone could help bring out the best in the striker. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs will be able to find an agreement that will benefit them both.
