Norwich City’s Ben Godfrey is reportedly on the radar of Manchester United.

Manchester United are interested in signing Ben Godfrey from Norwich City in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that United legend Rio Ferdinand has recommended Godfrey to United.

The report has also claimed that Norwich would want around £15 million as transfer fee for the 21-year-old, who can operate as a defender or as a midfielder.

Stats

Godfrey has been on the books of Norwich since January 2016 when he joined from York City.

The 21-year-old has progressed well for the Canaries in recent years, and has been in brilliant form for the club this season.

According to WhoScored, the English youngster has made 25 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Norwich this campaign, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the process.

Good signing for Manchester United

Godfrey is only 21 years of age, and it will take the youngster a while to get used to playing for United.

The versatile English youngster, though, can be a success at United in the long run.
