Rumours have been revolving that some Leicester City’s players will be soon approached by the bigger clubs of the English Premier League. One of them is the French midfielder, N’Golo Kante. Clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea are looking to add Kante to their squad in the summer.
On 3rd August 2015, N’Golo Kante joined Leicester City on a four-year contract. He has earned much praise for his consistent impressive performance for the Premier League club.
The midfielder is also set to receive his first call-up to the France National side after having a remarkable season with the league-leading Foxes, has been named to the provisional team for the approaching friendlies against Netherlands and Russia.
Here we look at how United can line-up if Kante chooses to sign for the Red Devils over any other club:
Kante, even though being one of the shortest players in the Premier League, is known for his tackles and interceptions. Being steady and aware on the pitch, the French midfielder doesn’t let anyone pass through easily with the aggression he has on the pitch. Kante has a trait of dribbling even though he is a central defensive midfielder.
With N’Golo Kante in Manchester United’s squad, Van Gaal can have more options to play up front by putting players like Fellaini and Schweinsteiger on a more attacking role, while being less worried about the defensive midfield in his 4-2-3-1 formation.
Kante can be of huge importance to the defensive line with his aggressive tackles and interceptions keeping opponents away from the penalty area.
