Man United eyeing Leicester City starlet Jeremy Monga | OneFootball

Manchester United are keeping an eye on Leicester City gem Jeremy Monga, per journalist Chris Wheeler.

With the Foxes now relegated to League One, they may be more inclined to sell if the Red Devils make an offer for Monga.

The 16-year-old has scored once and registered two assists in 27 Championship appearances.

He can play on either wing and has been praised for his ‘excellent‘ application.

Monga’s tricky footwork, intelligence and an elite technical package have alerted other clubs.

United will have to move quickly, with Arsenal, Real Madrid and Leeds United also linked with him.

Monga is an excellent long-term prospect

United reportedly plan to roll with Matheus Cunha and Patrick Dorgu as their left wing options for next season.

And that is exactly why Jeremy Monga feels like such an intriguing target.

Unlike Dorgu, Monga is a genuine attacking wide player. His first instinct is to isolate defenders, attack space and create chaos in one-versus-one situations.

Dorgu offers energy, athleticism and tactical flexibility, but deploying him on the left wing would still feel like a compromise.

Monga looks tailor-made for the role as a back-up to Cunha.

If United truly want to restore unpredictability in wide positions, Monga appears to be a far more natural long-term solution than converting Dorgu into something he is not.

United are also chasing Hertha Berlin defensive midfielder, Kennet Eichhorn.

The 16-year-old German prospect is on the radar of most of Europe’s top clubs and would be a coup if the Red Devils can sign him.
