According to a recent report by the Evening Standard, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Leicester City midfield ace James Maddison ahead of a potential move when the transfer window reopens in January or at the end of this campaign.
The same source has stated that Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to recruit more homegrown players and has identified the Foxes playmaker as an ideal fit for the Red Devils.
Maddison’s Incredible Run Of Form For The Foxes
The Coventry-born talent has netted eight goals and created nine assists in 43 appearances for the East Midlands outfit so far on all fronts. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic start to this season after he registered one goal and grabbed two assists in five appearances for the Foxes across multiple competitions.
Maddison has still not made his England debut but is well on course to play an integral role for the Three Lions in the years to come. The English playmaker has all the makings of a top talent and could become a Premier League legend if he can continue improving as a player.
What Will The English Whizkid Add To Solskjaer’s Team?
Maddison is a creative midfielder who has the vision to pick out a killer pass in the final third. He keeps his composure when put under pressure by the opposition and can influence the game by orchestrating a few goal-scoring opportunities for others around him. The English sensation can also score goals from long range as he tends to hit the ball with a lot of power and accuracy.
The Red Devils will benefit from acquiring a player of Maddison’s creative skills as he will add another dimension to the Man United midfield at Old Trafford. Both Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay are not as inventive as the English midfielder so there is a dire need for Solskjaer to add more quality to his midfield so that his side can compete for trophies in the coming years.
Is Maddison The Right Choice For The Mancunian Giants?
Maddison will be an excellent signing for the Red Devils as he will not only add more depth to Solskjaer’s squad but will also provide more creativity going forward. Hence, Man United should try everything they can to bring the Leicester star to the Theatre of Dreams in the future.
