Man Utd get serious about Leicester attacker James Maddison

Leicester City attacker James Maddison is emerging as a top 2020 transfer target for Manchester United.

The Manchester Evening News says United could use Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard to help them land Maddison.

Maddison, 22, has enjoyed a fine start to the season with Leicester and has been rewarded with a place in the England squad.

United have been linked with the former Norwich playmaker for some time, while Manchester City and Liverpool are also believed to be admirers.

And having already raided Leicester for Harry Maguire, United could be about to do the same with Maddison.

It is claimed United figures believe the popularity of Rashford and Lingard has an influence on their international teammates.
