Everton are set to travel to Old Trafford on Monday to take on Manchester United.
It is no doubt going to be a tough game for the Toffees, with David Moyes likely to look towards Iliman Ndiaye, who has been outstanding so far this season for Everton, to help them get a result.
Against an in-form Man United, the winger could well be the difference-maker to ensure that the visitors come away with a result.
However, the Senegal international’s form has also been noticed outside of Merseyside, with Ruben Amorim praising Nidaye before the match.

Ruben Amorim: Iliman Nidaye is an amazing player
Speaking ahead of the match, Amorim was complimentary of many Everton players.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Jack Grealish was one star the Man United manager highlighted, with the Man City loanee continuing to impress.
The other was Ndiaye, who has started the season brilliantly.
Speaking in his press conference on 20 November, Amorim said: “Ndiaye is an amazing player.”

As a result, rumours are starting to circulate regarding his future
However, this should cause concern among the Toffees fanbase.
Ndiaye has already been heavily linked away from Everton this season, with Tottenham reportedly an interested party.
With Amorim clearly being an admirer of the winger, the manager may look to get Man United to join the race for the winger.

If this happens, Everton may be in a position where they would really struggle to keep hold of their star man, especially if Ndiaye’s head gets turned.
How good has Ndiaye been this season for Everton?
According to Sofascore, Nidaye has been excellent in the Premier League this campaign.
The winger already has five goal contributions in 11 matches, while also providing numerous dribbles per match.

Realistically, Everton cannot afford to let Ndiaye go. There is no guarantee that the Toffees will even be able to sign Grealish at the end of his loan.
Therefore, if Moyes were to lose both of his starting wingers in the summer, it could have disastrous consequences.
