Why Wilfred Ndidi could join Man United in 2026

Here is why Wilfred Ndidi could join the Premier League side, Man United, either in the January or June 2026 transfer window.

As the January 2026 transfer window enters its final days, one major move that has been on the lips of many has centred around the possibility of the Super Eagles of Nigeria captain. Wilfred Ndidi is completing a possible move to the Premier League with Man United.

Although the Wilfred Ndidi and Man United possible transfer has been relatively quiet recently, the imminent departure of Casemiro at the end of the season has sparked speculations once again, as both midfielders are known for playing the same position.

Manchester United could potentially sign Ndidi in the summer 2026 transfer window, as the departure of Casemiro at the end of the season frees up more funds to bring in a player of a similar experience and calibre into the team.

With the skipper's previous experience in the Premier League, the midfielder remains an asset to nurture the new generation of midfielders at the club, while also offering stability in that position.

It remains to be seen if the transfer will materialise, but if it does, Wilfred Ndidi will be the second Nigerian, after Odion Ighalo to play for the Red Devils.
