Manchester United are considering a move for Super Eagles captain, Wilfred Ndidi, as a potential replacement for Casemiro, though the Red Devils face competition from Hull City for the Besiktas midfielder’s signature.

The Brazilian left Old Trafford following the expiration of his contract at the end of last season, leaving United searching for a successor after missing out on several preferred midfield targets this summer, with Elliott Anderson joining Manchester City, while Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali both completed moves to Tottenham Hotspur.

That situation has forced United back into the market, with the club reviving an interest in Ndidi first shown last summer when he was keen on leaving Leicester City, before a move failed to materialise and he ended up at Besiktas instead.

Ndidi (29) has established himself as one of the Turkish Super Lig’s most dependable performers since joining Besiktas, making 31 appearances so far this season with two goals and one assist. However, a managerial change at the club has cast doubt over his future, with Besiktas placing an €8m valuation on the midfielder and willing to listen to offers.
