Manchester United Identify This Everton Winger As A Summer Target: Good Choice For Carrick? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Dean Jones revealed that Manchester United have identified Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye as a summer target. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are eyeing a move to bring the Senegalese wide player to Old Trafford in this transfer window.

Ndiaye’s Impressive Form In English Football

Ndiaye has caught the eye at times with his performances for the Toffees in the Premier League this season. The Senegal international has made 19 appearances for Everton in this campaign so far, scoring four goals and grabbing a couple of assists on all fronts.

The 25-year-old has managed to shine at times for the Merseyside club in the final third. He deserves credit for averaging 1.38 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He has kept 54.5% of his attempts on target (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at Goodison Park will run out in the summer of 2029. Hence, it won’t be easy for Man United to sign him on a cut-price deal this year.

Is Ndiaye A Good Choice For Manchester United Boss Michael Carrick?

Ndiaye is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it out on the flanks. He has got the vision to create some inviting chances for his teammates in the final third and can shoot the ball with power from long range. Ndiaye is primarily a right-sided wide player but can also function as a left-winger or as an attacking midfielder if asked to do so by his manager.

The Senegal international can contribute by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team. Ndiaye is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the Mancunian club.

We can expect him to add some firepower to Man United boss Michael Carrick’s attack. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at Old Trafford in the coming years.

At 25, Ndiaye has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a great choice for the Red Devils to consider at the end of this campaign. He will also help Man United compete across all competitions in the future. Therefore, Carrick would be wise to move in for him soon.
