Manchester United are reportedly keeping close tabs on Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye ahead of the summer transfer window, with the attacker understood to be open to a move to what he considers his “dream” club.
According to reports, Ndiaye has emerged as a potential target for Manchester United as they continue to assess attacking reinforcements for next season. The 24-year-old has impressed at Everton with his direct running, flair, and ability to operate across multiple positions in the final third.
Manchester United’s interest is believed to be at a monitoring stage, with scouts tracking his performances closely. Ndiaye’s versatility—capable of playing as a second striker, on the wing, or in a central attacking role—makes him an appealing option for a squad that has at times lacked unpredictability and fluidity in attack.
Reports also suggest that Ndiaye would be highly receptive to a move if formal interest materialises. The forward is said to view United as a dream destination, a factor that could play into negotiations should Everton be forced to consider offers during the window.
While no official approach has been made, United’s recruitment team are thought to be weighing up cost-effective attacking options, particularly players who can add dynamism without necessarily commanding the blockbuster fees associated with elite forwards.
What Ndiaye could bring to United’s attack
Ndiaye would not arrive as a headline signing, but he could prove to be a highly effective one. His biggest strength lies in his unpredictability—he is the type of player who can break defensive structures with quick dribbles, sharp turns, and intelligent movement between the lines.
At Manchester United, that quality has often been missing, particularly against compact, low-block defences. Ndiaye thrives in tight spaces and is comfortable carrying the ball under pressure, which could make him a valuable tool in unlocking stubborn opposition.
Another key asset is his work rate. Ndiaye presses aggressively and contributes defensively from the front, something that aligns well with the demands of modern systems. His willingness to track back and harry defenders could complement more attack-minded teammates.
However, questions remain over his end product. While he is capable of scoring and creating goals, he is not yet a consistently prolific contributor in terms of raw numbers. That suggests he would be better suited as a complementary piece rather than the main attacking focal point.
