Manchester United are keeping tabs on James Maddison ahead of a potential summer move for the Leicester City playmaker.

United had been linked with the City star this summer and, according to the Manchester Evening News, will monitor the 22-year-old this season before a potential raid in 2020.

Maddison has made a fine start to his second top-flight campaign, registering one goal and two assists and it is believed Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a big fan of the attacking midfielder, who, as a young British player with Premier League experience, fits the Norwegian’s preferred profile.

After several big-money misses, United have rebooted their recruitment process, bringing in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James and Harry Maguire over the summer, the Red Devils signing the latter from City for £80m, a world-record fee for a defender.

Following Maguire’s departure, Maddison has become City’s prize asset, with Spurs and Liverpool also reported suitors.

While he is still waiting for his senior England debut, Maddison has quickly established himself as a key player at the King Power Stadium, contributing a combined 14 Premier League goals and assists in his first term at the club, following a £20 million switch from Norwich.

He is expected to start for City against United when the sides meet at Old Trafford this weekend.
