Italian football insider Fabrizio Romano reports that representatives have offered Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi to Manchester United as a potential January reinforcement. The Nigerian international currently plays for Turkish giants Besiktas following a high-profile move last summer that ended his nearly decade-long tenure with Leicester City.
According to Romano, the Red Devils are evaluating the 29-year-old midfielder as a strategic option to bolster their central ranks for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign.
Ndidi has maintained high performance levels in the Super Lig this season, featuring in 14 league starts and contributing a goal to the Besiktas cause. Despite his importance to the Turkish side, the defensive midfielder remains highly motivated to secure a return to the English top flight before the winter window closes. Manchester United management currently possesses full knowledge of the player’s availability, though the club has yet to submit a formal proposal to Besiktas.
With the transfer deadline approaching in less than two weeks, the Super Eagles veteran appears willing to negotiate flexible terms to facilitate a move back to the Premier League. His extensive experience in England, combined with his current physical form, makes him an attractive short-term solution for United’s midfield depth. The coming days will determine if the Old Trafford hierarchy decides to act on this opportunity or pursue alternative targets in the market.
Fabrizio Romano detailed the situation during a recent broadcast on his YouTube channel: “One player that has been offered to Manchester United is Wilfred Ndidi. A former Leicester City midfielder who is now playing in Turkey is being considered as a possible signing for the January transfer window in the midfield. Manchester United know about this opportunity, but right now they haven’t made any offer or bid. The player is ready to sign whatever deal is needed to return to the Premier League.”
