Manchester United target set for bumper new deal

 

Leicester will reward James Maddison with an improved contract to ward off interest from Manchester United, claims The Sun.

 

Maddison still has four years left to run on his current Leicester deal after signing from Norwich in a £20m deal last summer.

 

The England under-21 international enjoyed a thoroughly impressive maiden campaign for Leicester and is on the cusp of Gareth Southgate’s senior squad.

 

Maddison has emerged as a potential transfer target for United this summer, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to sign talented young players.

Liverpool and Manchester City are also monitoring Maddison’s future but Leicester have no desire to sell the 22-year-old.

 

Maddison, who will play a star role at the U21 European Championships this summer, is happy at Leicester and will be rewarded with improved terms to end any uncertainty about his future.

 

The Leicester No.10 played a direct hand in 14 goals in his first ever Premier League campaign (seven goals, seven assists) and registered more key passes than any other player in the division last term (100).
