Man Utd locked in talks for Leicester midfielder Page

What the report says

Manchester United are still in negotiations with Leicester City over a deadline-day move for teenager Louis Page, according to BBC Sport Football. The Premier League clubs are understood to be discussing a deal for the 18-year-old midfielder, with United cautious about whether it can be completed before Tuesday’s 11pm transfer deadline. If agreed, the transfer is expected to cost well above £10m.

BBC Sport said United’s interest in Page was first reported in August. Page has made 25 senior appearances for Leicester in total, including four this season, after making his first-team debut in August 2025. The report adds that United have been rebuilding their midfield this summer and have already brought in three international midfielders, so the immediate role for Page at Old Trafford is unclear.

The article also places the talks in the wider context of a quiet deadline day for United, with supporters hoping for more activity. BBC Sport reported that a move for a left-back is not expected, while Joshua Zirkzee’s anticipated departure to Juventus did not happen and Harry Amass’s future remains unresolved. Separately, BBC Radio Leicester described Page as one of the more promising products of Leicester’s academy in recent years, praising his ball-carrying and passing ability.
