Manchester United’s bid for Everton’s left‑winger Iliman Ndiaye has stalled, as the Saudi club Al Hilal has entered the market for the 26‑year‑old. United’s interest, which had been monitored as a potential fit on the left flank, is hampered by uncertainty surrounding Marcus Rashford’s future at Old Trafford.
Al Hilal’s recent financial capability enables them to act swiftly, offering a sizeable premium to both Everton and the player. Ndiaye’s blend of quickness, direct running and Premier League experience makesည်း him a highly attractive option, yet Everton view him as an integral part of their squad and are unlikely to entertain a sale without a compelling offer.
Negotiationsណ្ហ between Al Hilal and the player’s representatives remain in their infancy. The Saudi club has placed Ndiaye high on its shortlist, and the player’s team are couched in a willingness to discuss initial terms. Despite United’s admiration for the winger, no formal bid has been lodged, leaving the Red Devils at a disadvantage if Rashford’s role remains unclear.
Should Al Hilal present a decisive offer, they could secure Ndiaye before United resolve their internal squad planning. A prompt clarification of Rashford’s position and a definitive decision on Ndiaye would be essential to prevent the Saudi side from taking the player away from a club that has yet to make a concrete move.
