Manchester United closing in on Leicester teenager Louis Page deal
There is a young football player named Louis Page who plays for Leicester City.
He is only 18 years old, but he is already very good at football.
Manchester United, one of the biggest football clubs in England, wants to sign him.
A few other big clubs, like Arsenal and Aston Villa, wanted him too.
Louis joined Leicester when he was very young, at Under-9 level.
Since then, he has worked his way up and has played 21 games for the main team.
Last season, he won an award for being the best apprentice player in the English Football League.
He also plays for England's Under-20 team.
Because Louis has a contract with Leicester, Manchester United has to pay the club money to take him.
Manchester United are reportedly in talks to sign 18-year-old Leicester City midfielder Louis Page.
Page was named EFL Apprentice of the Year last season and is an England Under-20 international.
He has made 21 senior appearances for Leicester since joining the club's academy at Under-9 level.
Arsenal and Aston Villa have also shown interest, but United are now looking to secure his services.
Any deal requires an agreement on a transfer fee with League One club Leicester, who gave Page his first professional contract in September 2025.
