"I can tell you that Wilfried Ndidi, former midfielder from Leicester, now at Besiktas, was offered as an opportunity to Man United. A low-cost opportunity, the player was very keen on the move but Man United decided immediately not to proceed. They had the chance to do something like a low-cost opportunity but they decided against it. Ndidi only joined Besiktas last summer after spending nine years as a cornerstone of Leicester City's midfield."
"However, United's decision to pass highlights a shift in recruitment philosophy. Rather than opting for a stopgap solution, the club appear determined to avoid repeating past mistakes of reactive signings that offer immediate cover but limited long-term value. Midfield changes are coming soon for the Red Devils Despite rejecting Ndidi, United's need for midfield reinforcements remains undeniable. Casemiro has already confirmed he will leave the club in July when his contract expires, removing one of the squad's most experienced figures."
Manchester United were offered Wilfred Ndidi from Besiktas as a low-cost winter option but declined the proposal immediately. Ndidi previously spent nine years at Leicester City, winning the FA Cup, Community Shield, and helping secure Championship promotion, giving him Premier League pedigree. United's decision reflects a recruitment shift toward long-term value rather than reactive, short-term cover. The club still requires midfield reinforcements, with Casemiro confirming departure in July and uncertainty surrounding Manuel Ugarte. United appear prepared to pursue more strategic, longer-term midfield solutions instead of making quick, low-cost additions.
