Manchester United is leading a pursuit to sign 18-year-old Leicester City midfielder Louis Page during the summer transfer window. Page, an England Under-20 international and former EFL Apprentice of the Year, is viewed as a high-potential talent capable of playing in midfield roles such as a number 8 or 10. While Arsenal and Aston Villa have expressed interest in the player, reports indicate that Page may be willing to join Manchester United. Leicester City may seek a transfer fee similar to the £13 million paid for Jeremy Monga to Manchester City. The move is described as part of a long-term recruitment strategy under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS. As the summer transfer window nears its conclusion, Manchester United remains in ongoing talks to secure the youngster to bolster a midfield that has already seen the signings of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. Despite United holding a significant advantage, Arsenal continues to track the player as the deadline approaches. Following the close of the summer transfer window, negotiations reportedly reached an impasse. While Leicester City had sought a package of £12 million plus £3 million, an agreement was not reached. Despite this, Manchester United remains confident in securing the player, who has made over 20 senior appearances for Leicester, and is currently exploring alternative options such as a loan deal or a pre-agreement. Following the close of the window, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick expressed confidence in the squad despite a summer expenditure of approximately €173.2 million on midfield reinforcements like Carlos Baleba, Tielemans, and Santos. The club is reportedly continuing negotiations with Leicester City for Page, specifically exploring a potential pre-agreement that would allow the midfielder to remain at Leicester for the current season before joining Old Trafford.
