Manchester United need to move fast if they want to sign Evan Ndicka, especially now that the race for the Roma defender is heating up among the Premier League’s big hitters. While Liverpool and Tottenham have been keeping tabs on the Ivorian international for a while, the latest word from Italy is that United have officially joined the bidding with serious interest.
This move comes after a great run for the centre-back, who was the rock of Eintracht Frankfurt’s defence during their 2022 Europa League win before heading to Italy on a free transfer. Roma currently want about £39 million for him, a price tag driven up by his solid form and the club’s desperate need to settle their books with UEFA.
Andy Brassell wants Manchester United to sign Evan Ndicka
European football expert Andy Brassell recently told talkSPORT that the 26-year-old is one of the most underrated defenders playing in Europe right now. Brassell reckons that even though United have looked better under Michael Carrick lately, the board can’t afford to sit back during the next transfer window.
Since the Italian side are under a lot of financial pressure, they’ll likely have to sell a big-name player this summer to make the numbers work. This gives United a real chance to grab a physical, left-footed defender who has already shown he can handle two of Europe’s toughest leagues.

Given his age and his time in Europe, Ndicka is a smart signing who would instantly add some much-needed speed and composure to the backline. If the Red Devils can beat their rivals to the punch, they’ll get a player who can anchor their defence for years to come.
