Just in case you were skeptical about Manchester United’s apparent interest in Nicolas Pépé, the latest bit of information, this time provided by fan site Girondins4Ever might convince you.
Over the past few weeks, reports emerged claiming the Red Devils had been impressed by what the Lille forward had accomplished since the start of the season, and with a drastic need for some more dynamism down the right hand side, it makes a lot of sense.
With four goals and three assists in six games, the 23-year-old has shown both an ability to find the back of the net as well as create opportunities for his teammates, sometimes out of nothing.
According to Girondins4Ever, a Manchester United scout will be present at Bordeaux’s game against Lille on Wednesday night, joined by representatives from Everton and a number of European sides, including Barcelona, who have also been linked with the Ivory Coast international.
After their catastrophic season in 2017-18, Lille, under new manager Christophe Galtier, have been the surprises of Ligue 1 so far this campaign, currently second in the table, five points behind six wins in six Paris Saint-Germain.
