**Manchester, UK -** As the Premier League season draws closer, Manchester United are reportedly considering Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi and Club Brugge’s Ardon Jashari to bolster their midfield. TalkSPORT suggests Ndidi could be a budget-friendly option at £9 million due to a relegation release clause, while Calciomercato reports that Jashari, who is also drawing interest from Borussia Dortmund, would command a €40 million fee. ESPN’s Sam Tighe believes Jashari would be a better prospect for the club.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United are working to secure Alexander Isak’s future, reportedly offering the striker a new contract to fend off interest from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona, according to The Times.
