Arsenal or Manchester United : Who Should Bid for Ndidi's Signature This Summer?

Published: March 31, 2019

A relatively unknown midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was brought from Genk to Leicester City in 2017 as N'Golo Kante's replacement.

Ndidi has grown from being an unknown player to a force to reckon with at the King Power Stadium. He didn't just replaced Kante in a wonderful way, he is equally one of the top tacklers in the Premier League this season.

He once again showed why he should be playing for a top-four club in Leicester City's 2-0 victory over Bouremouth on Saturday.

He was all over the pitch as his timely tackles prevented the Cherries from threatening Kasper Schmeichel throughout the game.

The question isn't whether Ndidi deserves a place in a top-four club, but the question is who should target the former Genk star between Manchester and Arsenal in the next transfer market.

The Gunners signed Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria in January and the Uruguayan star wasted no time to settle down at the Emirates Stadium.

He obviously formed a great partnership with Granit Xhaka, but both players haven't done enough to stop their opponents from troubling goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

The Gunners need the presence of Ndidi at Emirates Stadium next season if they must lay claim for next season's Premier League crown.

Manchester United's fortune has drastically changed since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho last year.

The Norwegian has successfully given the Old Trafford fans new hope of greater things to come because the team now win games without much stress.

However, Solskjaer still has to work on his defensive midfield positions as Matic is currently not in his best, while Fred is yet to justify his inclusion into the team.

Ndidi might be the missing player in United's midfield setup, hence, they shouldn't hesitate to move for his services.

Either Matic or Fred could be released by the former Molde FK manager in order to create space for the Leicester City's long-legged midfield maestro.

The Red Devils showed interest in Ndidi in 2016 but they were beaten by the Foxes to his signature. It is high time they finally capture their longtime target.
