Manchester United have confirmed they will not sign 18-year-old Leicester City midfielder Louis Page, despite earlier speculation about a potential late transfer. Reports had suggested the club might make a move for the young talent, but it has now been confirmed that no deal will be finalized. Page was included in Leicester’s starting lineup for their League One match against Plymouth on Tuesday, effectively ending any chance of a transfer. Leicester reportedly wanted more than £10 million for the player, who made his first-team debut in August 2025 and has since played 25 games in total.
United had considered a loan move for Page, allowing him to return to Leicester, given the club’s significant spending on international midfielders this summer. Players like Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos, and Carlos Baleba—currently sidelined with a minor ankle injury—have joined the squad, reducing the need for immediate reinforcements. This approach may have influenced United’s decision to let Page remain with his current club.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old full-back Harry Amass will stay at Manchester United despite expected loan offers. Amass has not yet been selected by manager Michael Carrick for any Premier League matches and was anticipated to leave the club. The lack of a deal for an experienced left-back also played a role in Amass’s potential departure. Talks with Fiorentina over the transfer of Joshua Zirkzee collapsed, and Juventus instead opted for a loan deal for Newcastle’s Nick Woltemade.
The failed transfer for Page and the uncertainty surrounding Amass reflect the challenges United are facing in strengthening their squad this summer. With several high-profile signings already made, the club is now looking to finalize other positions, particularly in defense, to ensure a competitive edge in the upcoming season.
