Man Utd makes James Maddison's new transfer priority and targets a £ 60 million market

Manchester United is intensifying its quest for Leicester City star James Maddison, according to The Independent.

England's Under-21 international, ranked at £ 60m, had a stunning first season in the Premier League after leaving Norwich last summer.

It is now a priority for the Red Devils as they arrive in pole position in the signing race.

Maddison is thought to have been followed by Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham for a number of years, but United is now looking to take action.

Although an official offer was not filed, they made contact with the Fox, who may well be tripling their money after spending £ 20 million on Maddison in the summer latest.

Maddison has created more chances to score than any other player in the last Premier League season and certainly fits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's criteria for young and hungry players during his summer rebuilding.

They also targeted Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho before missing the Champions League football. The attacker, Daniel James, and Maddison, 22, have also increased the number of British players.

Maddison, who was summoned for the first time with Gareth Southgate's senior team last October, is currently with England under-21 ahead of his campaign for the European Championship. this summer.

As part of their training camp, he coached with Southgate's senior team at St George's Park before the finals of the League of Nations.

As Maddison soon prepares to travel to Italy for their tournament, her future promises promising before a possible switchover to Old Trafford.

Solskjaer and Ed Woodward are also aiming for a center back and center back to strengthen their ranks, as well as more creativity to bounce back from a miserable campaign during which they finished sixth in the Premier League.
