Everton are unbeaten in two Premier League games since tasting defeat in the FA Cup.
David Moyes has recorded a 1-0 win at Villa Park and a 1-1 draw against Leeds at the Hill Dickinson Stadium since Sunderland shoved the Toffees out of the FA Cup.
A similar run has been put together by Michael Carrick over at Manchester United, who has impressively defeated Manchester City and Arsenal since Brighton dumped his side out of the FA Cup too.
As Manchester United aim to carry this encouraging form into next season, reinforcements are being targeted, and TEAMtalk believe those at Old Trafford have genuine belief they can take Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.
How much is Iliman Ndiaye currently worth?
Manchester United confident they can lure Iliman Ndiaye to Old Trafford
TEAMtalk reported initial interest from Manchester United in the Everton No.10 earlier this week, with sources feeling the Senegal international could be another Bryan Mbeumo at Old Trafford.
Now, an update has been provided.
It is said that the Red Devils believe a deal can be done for Ndiaye this summer, and he is viewed as a more suitable – and attainable – target than Rafael Leao of AC Milan.
A fee of £75m is mentioned in the report, which would put the 25-year-old on par with Romelu Lukaku as the most expensive sale in the history of Everton.
Everton need to demand at least £100m for Iliman Ndiaye
In this era of football, Everton could justifiably demand £100m for Ndiaye and actually receive it.
All The Friedkin Group need to do is point at the fees Manchester United have spent on other players, such as the £86m they paid to sign Antony from Ajax back in September 2022.
Even Jack Grealish – who Everton have just lost to injury – cost £100m when moving from Aston Villa to Manchester City in August 2021, after becoming a talisman at Villa Park just like Ndiaye has for the Toffees.
Grealish even called Ndiaye “the best” at Everton on Instagram back in October after the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
What should be Everton’s top priority before the deadline on Monday? 😬
The clock is ticking… ⏰
Therefore, Everton would undoubtedly be selling themselves short if a £75m deal for the Africa Cup of Nations winner is sanctioned this summer.
