Man Utd Deadline Day Move for Leicester's Louis Page Collapses

Published 2 September 2026

Manchester United's attempt to sign Leicester City midfielder Louis Page collapsed on transfer deadline day after the clubs failed to agree on a transfer fee. The deal, which had been in advanced negotiations, fell through before the 11 p.m. deadline on September 1, 2026. Discussions between the two Premier League clubs had progressed throughout the day, with United reportedly willing to pay in excess of £10 million for the 18-year-old. However, Leicester City were holding out for a fee of around £15 million. Despite talks reaching an advanced stage, an agreement could not be reached, and the transfer is not expected to progress.
