Manchester United plans to revisit transfer interest in Louis Page
Summary

Manchester United intends to pursue a transfer for Leicester City midfielder Louis Page when the window reopens. The club attempted to secure the 18-year-old on deadline day but failed to finalize a deal due to Leicester City's financial valuation. Reports indicate that United was prepared to meet a fee of more than £10 million, though the asking price reached £12 million plus £3 million in potential add-ons. The move stalled after Russell Martin named the player in his starting lineup for a match against Plymouth Argyle. The England Under-19 international remains a target for the Premier League side, having previously turned down interest from Arsenal to favor a move to Old Trafford. Future negotiations may involve a loan-back arrangement to keep Page at his current club for the remainder of the season.
