#1 United eyeing £60m French combative midfielder

Ndombele could partner Pogba at club level next season

Today's top story of the day involves another midfielder linked to the Red Devils. The Express reports that United are monitoring Lyon's French midfielder, Ndombele. However, they are not the only clubs interested in the Frenchman. Pep Guardiola has reportedly identified Ndombele as the next Fernandinho, while Pochettino is also eager to bring the midfielder to Tottenham. Apart from the Premier League sides, Juventus and PSG are also interested in the Frenchman.

Ndombele partnered Pogba in the midfield in Sunday's friendly game against Bolivia, which the European nation won 2-0. The two of them worked very well together, which prompted many to note that they could repeat the performances at club level as well. And the player himself has hinted that his future is not sorted as of yet. Speaking to Frenchman Newspaper Le Progres, this is what he had to say:

As I told my agents and the club, I'm not fixed yet, I did not make a decision

Of course I could see myself staying with Lyon, the club will be in the Champions League.

But I've not asked the question to stay or not and I've not spoken with the new staff

United have not qualified for the Champions League next season, so it clearly puts them in the backfoot in any negotiations. As such, it remains to be seen if they can coax Ndombele, who will be the perfect partner for Pogba and could cost around £60m, to make the move.
