Manchester United remain determined to strengthen the left wing this summer, but everything hinges on the future of Marcus Rashford.
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man United appreciate Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye.
However, the deal is not progressing yet as INEOS are waiting to see what the future holds for Rashford.
The England international spent last season on loan at Barcelona, but the Catalan giants decided against activating the £26 million purchase option.
Rashford remains one of United’s highest earners, taking home more than £300,000 per week.
INEOS would ideally replace him with a younger winger capable of delivering similar quality on significantly lower wages.
Rashford is expected to report for pre-season at Carrington, with both the player and the club open to rebuilding the relationship.
However, a permanent departure remains the most likely outcome if United receive a suitable offer.
Iliman Ndiaye enjoyed a good season at Everton. He scored six goals and provided three assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season.
The Senegal international offers tremendous versatility, with the ability to play on either wing or operate as a second striker.
Everton regard him as one of their most influential players, meaning United would almost certainly have to pay well above his market valuation.
Ndiaye bagged two goals and one assist in three games at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
He is a tricky dribbler and has the special ability to carry the ball through tight spaces.
West Ham United attacker Crysencio Summerville is another name on the wishlist of the Red Devils.
However, AS Roma are ready to submit a third offer to recruit the Dutch international.
A late departure for Rashford could leave INEOS scrambling for attacking reinforcements during the closing stages of the transfer window.
