According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Manchester United are likely to be among the teams to watch in the race for Bouaddi's signature, and the player could be available for a fee of around £40m.

Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Bouaddi and are closely tracking him this season. The club is among the Premier League teams prepared to act if an opportunity to sign him emerges.

Manchester United is one of the English clubs that have recently observed Bouaddi's performances, receiving highly positive feedback. The Lille youngster has attracted significantly more attention due to his 20 appearances in Ligue 1 and his standout performances in the Champions League, including a last-16 knockout match against Dortmund. Nevertheless, Bouaddi is unable to transfer to a new team until January 2026, when he turns 18, allowing clubs time to plan their strategies. Despite the ongoing speculation, Lille aims to either secure a new contract with him or achieve a lucrative transfer similar to Leny Yoro's €62 million move to Manchester United last summer.
