“My reference is N’Golo Kante. He is a great footballer and moves all over the field.”
In a separate interview with Global Digital TV, Caicedo said: “I really like the game of N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba, I learn a lot from them every time I see them.

United also want to bring in a couple of defenders, as well as a right-winger after failing to complete a deal for Jadon Sancho last summer.
"Manchester United's position in the transfer market is that they're still looking in a number of positions," Castles said.
