Leicester City gem targeted by Manchester United

Manchester United’s recruitment drive continues to evolve under Ruben Amorim as the club prepares for what promises to be a pivotal January window.

The Portuguese boss has been clear about his ambitions to strengthen key areas of the squad, with United scouts working tirelessly to identify both senior additions and future stars.

Amorim’s system demands high energy, adaptability and tactical intelligence – qualities that have been the focus of the club’s recent scouting missions.

With the team showing greater consistency and structure in recent weeks, United are determined to build a squad that can sustain long-term success rather than rely on short-term fixes.

The focus at Carrington has increasingly shifted towards nurturing young prospects capable of fitting into Amorim’s dynamic playing style, ensuring the club’s rebuild is both immediate and sustainable.

That philosophy has now led United to the door of one of England’s most promising youngsters.

According to Football Insider, Manchester United have turned their attention to Leicester City prodigy Jeremy Monga, a 16-year-old winger rapidly gaining attention across the country.

The teenager has been a standout performer in the Championship this season, making 12 appearances and contributing both a goal and an assist despite Leicester’s ongoing struggles on and off the pitch.

United, who already poached Arsenal starlets Chido Obi Martin and Ayden Heaven last season, are believed to be plotting another ambitious move to secure Monga’s services.

The youngster’s performances have not gone unnoticed by England’s elite, with Manchester City and Liverpool both having attempted to lure him away from Leicester earlier this year.

Given his age and contractual status, Jeremy Monga could be available for around £2 million, a potential bargain for a player of his calibre.

However, competition is expected to be fierce, and United are eager to move swiftly to avoid missing out.

Leicester’s troubles under Marti Cifuentes have further fuelled speculation over Monga’s future, with fans growing restless after a string of poor results left the Foxes 14th in the Championship table.

As Amorim continues shaping the future of Manchester United, the pursuit of young talents like Monga highlights the club’s determination to secure long-term stability and success both on and off the pitch.
