Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City defender Ben Nelson.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Manchester United could consider a move this summer and the transfer fee could be around £10 million. The 22-year-old has already informed Leicester City that he wants to leave the club following their relegation to League One.
The opportunity to play for Manchester United will be an exciting one for Nelson. It would be a big step up in his career and Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world. Meanwhile, West Ham United are also keeping an eye on the England U-20 international.
It remains to be seen which of the two clubs will present him with an acceptable offer. The asking price seems quite reasonable and Manchester United certainly have the financial strength to make a deal happen.
The 22-year-old defender could be considered a long-term option if he impresses in the Premier League. He may be able to secure a position in the future.
At £10 million, Nelson could be a bargain signing for Manchester United.
Manchester United will have no difficulty convincing the young defender. He would be attracted to the idea of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
In addition to his abilities as a central defender, he can also play as a left-back. His versatility could be an added bonus for Manchester United. He could play multiple positions during injuries or rotations. He could become a valuable member of the first team next season.
