BBC Journalist Says Man Utd Are In“Talks”To Sign Midfielder Who Arsenal And Villa Have“Big Interest”In

Man Utd are in “talks” to snap up Leicester City midfielder Louis Page, according to BBC reporter Sami Mokbel.

The journalist is usually very reliable when it comes to transfer stories, and he says that the Red Devils are “working on a deal” for the 18-year-old.

It is believed that discussions between the two teams are ongoing as they look to hash out an agreement which would see Page make the switch to Old Trafford.

The teenager only turned 18 last month, so fans should not expect him to feature regularly for the first team straight away if he does end up joining United.

What do Man Utd fans need to know about the player?

Page came through Leicester’s youth system, and he made his senior debut against Charlton Athletic last August, playing the first hour of the 1-0 win over the Addicks.

The midfielder went on to play 20 further matches in all competitions, making 7 starts in total across the 2025/26 season. His latest appearance came in the Foxes’ 1-0 victory against Northampton Town in the Carabao Cup on Saturday.

At international level, Page has been capped three times by England’s Under 19s, making his debut in a European Championship qualifier against Bulgaria in March, before playing versus Spain and Croatia the same month.

Page does have other suitors

Mokbel has also confirmed that Arsenal and Aston Villa have shown “big interest” in the youngster over the past few weeks, and it appears United have had to move quickly in order to head off competition for his signature.

Leicester’s relegation to League One has led to several departures from the King Power Stadium, including Jeremy Monga, another young player who moved to Manchester City in a deal worth up to £12.5m. It remains to be seen how much Page will cost.
