The winger has struggled slightly since returning from AFCON. But overall, he has been impactful and influential – and his efforts have not gone unnoticed.

United will look to strengthen this summer and Iliman Ndiaye is on their list – and his versatility is said to be a key reason they like him.

According to Flashscore, one of the main reasons United are attracted to Ndiaye is because of the Senegal international’s versatility.

The Red Devils are said to like his profile, believing his style is a strong fit for them.

His adaptability – which allows him to be comfortable operating on either flank or through the middle – is a big draw.

Ndiaye has mainly featured on the right for Everton this season, although he’s had some outings on the left side after Jack Grealish got injured.

Against United, whose recruitment officials will likely have been watching closely, Ndiaye played on the right.

And it was a busy display from Ndiaye, who completed eight dribbles in the game – no player has made more in a single Premier League match this season.

Everton’s stance on Ndiaye is clear

United may greatly admire Ndiaye, but they may have a hard time signing him this summer.

It’s been reported The Friedkin Group have no wish to sell Ndiaye in the next window, with the player seen as key to Everton’s future plans.

However, United have never been shy in splashing the cash, so we’ll see how much Everton’s resolve will be tested.

If Everton don’t get into Europe and United have Champions League football to offer, this potentially gives a chance of a transfer to Old Trafford for the player
