Manchester United retain a strong interest in signing James Maddison from Leicester City.

United want to sign players in the January transfer window, but understand it would be difficult to get someone of Maddison's caliber this month.

The attacking midfielder is having an excellent season with Leicester City, who are in the hunt for a top four finish.

Sky Sports suggests United may try and sign Maddison in the summer.

But it is unclear if he would want to leave Leicester if they are in the Champions League, when United are unlikely to be in the competition next season.

Jack Grealish is another United target, but Aston Villa would also prefer not to sale this month.
