Man Utd hold talks with Euro 2024 star Jim Ratcliffe has already signed once

Switzerland winger Dan Ndoye has emerged as a Manchester United target after a breakout Euro 2024 campaign.

The 23-year-old, who plays his club football for Bologna, missed out on Switzerland's World Cup squad in 2022 but is part of Murat Yakin's group in Germany. He started all three group games as Switzerland finished second behind the hosts, against whom he netted in a 1-1 draw.

Were United to push for Ndoye's signing, it would be the second time the player has signed for a Jim Ratcliffe side. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the part-owner of the Premier League outfit, took the youngster to Nice in 2019 after Ndoye came through the ranks at another club in his portfolio, Lausanne-Sport.

He returned to Switzerland after that spell in France, joining Basel before moving to current club Bologna in 2023. He played 32 times in Serie A last season, scoring in a late-season win over Napoli which helped secure Champions League qualification.

According to Sky Italy, Ndoye has 'entered United's sights' after impressing against Germany. His early goal left Switzerland on the verge of topping Group A, only for Niclas Fullkrug to score a late equaliser for Julian Nagelsmann's side.

Ndoye is also said to be on the radar of a number of Italian clubs, Among that number is Inter Milan, the 2023-24 champions, who count former United forward Alexis Sanchez among several players set to leave upon the expiry of contract this summer.

Bologna paid a little over £7m to sign Ndoye from Basel. While no fee has been mentioned for a sale, the interest from England and Italy could allow them to make a tidy profit if they choose to cash in.

Ndoye is not the only international star to be linked with United this summer. Portugal youngster Joao Neves has long been mentioned as a potential recruit, while Canada striker Jonathan David - away on the other side of the Atlantic for the Copa America - continues to be linked.

One player who looks unlikely to move to Old Trafford, however, is Jean-Clair Todibo. The French defender is currently at Nice, with some suggesting he was the subject of comments made by Ratcliffe hitting out at UEFA for blocking a deal between the two clubs.

“They’ve said we can sell him to another Premiership club, but we can't sell to Manchester United,” Ratcliffe told Bloomberg. “But that's not fair on the player and I don’t see what that achieves.”
