AdminManchester United have opened talks with Leicester City over a potential summer move for highly-rated winger, with the teenager continuing to attract serious interest from some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
United scouts have monitored Monga closely throughout the season and the club are understood to be impressed by his pace, confidence on the ball and ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations.
The England youth international is regarded as one of Leicester’s brightest young talents despite the club’s difficult campaign.
A fee in the region of £15 million has already been discussed during early conversations between the two clubs, although no formal agreement has been reached at this stage.
Leicester remain keen to keep hold of the youngster but could face a major challenge if United decide to press ahead with a concrete offer in the coming weeks.
Monga’s rise has caught the attention of several clubs across England, though Manchester United appear to be leading the race at present as they continue their focus on signing elite young talent for the future.
The winger is believed to be open to the move should negotiations progress further, with the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in world football seen as a huge step in his development.
