Manchester United make the first move to sign the third fastest player at Euro 2024

Goalkeeper Andre Onana and midfielder Sofyan Amrabat have reunited with Ten Hag, leaving Inter Milan and Fiorentina respectively after playing under the Dutchman in the Eredivisie.

United also splashed the cash to sign Rasmus Hojlund, prying the Danish hitman away from Atalanta in a big-money move.

The Italian market certainly looked enticing for United last summer and we could see a repeat of that approach in the coming weeks and months.

Manchester United want Dan Ndoye from Bologna

United are already looking to sign a player from Serie A surprise package Bologna.

Thiago Motta led the club to Champions League qualification before leaving for Juventus this summer.

United were apparently impressed and are already trying to land Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee this summer.

Reports suggest United are now leading the race for Zirkzee and are ready to pay the £34m release clause in his contract.

United may actually want a double raid on Bologna, although they have also targeted a move to sign winger Dan Ndoye alongside Zirkzee.

Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio now claims that United have “tested the waters” for Ndoye by requesting information on a potential deal.

United are suggested to have made the first contact about an “immediate” transfer after Ndoye scored against Germany in a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

Who is United target Ndoye?

Ndoye hails from Nyon in Switzerland and his upbringing in the game is heavily influenced by Ineos – the new decision makers at Old Trafford.

Ndoye came through the ranks of Ineos-owned Lausanne-Sport in his native Switzerland, showing major potential as a teenager.

Unsurprisingly, Ineos had a big say in his next move, moving him to Ineos-owned club Nice in 2020.

That move didn’t really work and after he returned to Switzerland with Basel, Bologna swooped in to sign Ndoye last summer.

It therefore comes as no great surprise that Ineos are now interested in Ndoye again, this time with a view to bringing him to Manchester.

Ndoye possesses incredible versatility, featuring as a winger, defender and even striker for club and country.

Ndoye caused real problems at Euro 2024 and UEFA tracking places him as the third fastest player at the tournament with a top speed of 35.6 kilometers per hour.

That’s just ahead of Rasmus Hojlund and even faster than Kylian Mbappe, so Ndoye is a threat with his speed.

Taking over Ndoye from Bologna may not be easy, but United appear to be interested in a double raid on Bologna this summer.
