Manchester United in talks to sign 24-year-old winger - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Premier League giants Manchester United are seemingly interested in signing Leicester City attacker Riyad Mahrez, according to reports.
France Football understands that Manchester United have contacted with the player’s agent over a possible move. The Red Devils are “very interested” in the player, who has also caught the attention of French champions PSG in recent weeks.
Mahrez has been in fine form for Leicester this season, scoring seven goals already in the Premier League so far. The 24-year-old winger is also a regular member of the Algerian national team and has made 18 appearances for his country.
Leicester have surprised everyone with their attacking brand of football this season and Mahrez doesn’t want his team to change their philosophy.
He scored two second half goals on Sunday as Leicester came from behind to beat West Brom 3-2. He said after the match:
“I am really enjoying playing in this team. We are playing attacking football, not staying behind the ball and that’s the mark of the team. We have to keep going like this. Everyone is happy – the team, the players and the city.
Mahrez joined Leicester in 2014 for a paltry fee of €400,000 Euros only, and should they sell him to United in the January transfer window, Leicester are certain to make an enormous profit from the deal.
