Leicester City Man Completely Plays Down Talk Of Manchester United Move

We're in the era of 'fake news' at the moment and people are calling out a number of stories as being blatant bullshit.

It all stemmed from Donald Trump but it's translated to football articles, transfer news and quotes.

And there's a bit of fake news to report on when it comes to a Leicester City player's 'agent' talking up a move to Manchester United.

Wilfred Ndidi signed for Leicester from Genk in a £15 million January move and has helped fill the gaping hole left by N'Golo Kante, who has been in fine form for Chelsea after his summer move.

Particularly since Craig Shakespeare was appointed manager, Ndidi has been impressive and has had a huge impact in Leicester's midfield.

So much so that links to Manchester United came about, thanks to a bloke called Hakeem Bello.

A United fan account tweeted a series of quotes from the man, believing he is the Nigerian's agent.

He was quoted as saying that Ndidi would not be able to turn down the chance to join United if the opportunity came about.

But Ndidi himself responded, posting screenshots of the tweets, committing himself to Leicester and saying that he doesn't know a 'Hakeem Bello'.

Panic over, Leicester fans.
