Man Utd locked in talks for Leicester midfielder Page
Manchester United remain in talks to sign highly-rated Leicester youngster Louis Page in a deal that could be worth over £10m.
Manchester United was unsuccessful in securing both Manchester City's left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and Leicester City's 18-year-old midfielder Louis Page on transfer deadline day. United had previously been exploring options to address Michael Carrick's defensive weakness, but opted against pursuing deals for Alejandro Balde from Barcelona and Jorge Salinas from Racing Santander.
In the case of Ait-Nouri, United was not interested in a permanent deal and rejected City's request for a loan with an obligation to buy. Meanwhile, Leicester City had set their price for Page at well over £10m, making a loan deal with United an unfeasible option.
