23 years old Interesting player, plays in a CM roaming playmaker role. An alternative to the Judes and Frenkies of this world. One and a bit years left on his contract, so could be relatively cheap. Any in-house scouts have any thoughts on him?
Here are a couple of youtube analysis videos


Thinking him and a young backup for Casemiro (assuming we self Mctominay). May sort out our midfield for a few years.

Like him a lot. Would be a smart signing for the CM role, good work ethic and brilliant through balls

Not sure I have seen him linked to us though

Been seeing this name on Twitter recently, I genuinely thought it was a nickname mocking Enzo Fernandez and how much he cost.

Best value in the market/bargain midfield signing of the summer, he shouldn't cost more than £15-20m and potentially could be a very good rotation for both Eriksen and Bruno.

Great little player, very good at creating and progressing the ball up the pitch, final balls, dead ball specialist and his work rate without the ball is also pretty decent. The only concern is whether he can replicate that in EPL where the tempo is much higher than in Ligue 1 but I think he is, at his price and contract situation, worth that risk.

Unfortunately, never saw us linked with him but previously saw links with Arsenal.

Too lightweight. He'd be just as easy to brush aside as Fred is right now.

There's still some scope for him to bulk up as he's young. But in the PL, opposition teams would target him as one of our major defensive weakness.

What I would give for the young original Enzo playing upfront for us, he would be sensational.

We should absolutely be all in for this kid. Its still surprising how poor we are at signing bargain options. This kid fits the de jong profile and he is really good. We are instead wasting time considering jude Bellingham, declan rice, moses caicedo and frankie all over again.
For a fraction of money...we can fix our midfield for the next 10 years. Signing this kid and someone like alan varela means we got a casemiro and eriksen cover who are as good or even better. It means we can get rid of mctominay and donny...maybe even fred without much thought.

Classic. Needs to bulk up and a loan to the Championship!

In all seriousness though I have watched abut of lorient this season when they had moffi and the winger they sold to Bournemouth,

le fee is quality player and he has an eye for a pass and he gets stuck in, what I like most about him is his ability to beat the press with dribble or drop of the shoulder

If we aren't going for this guy I'll be so mad

| Manchester United are one of three clubs interested in Enzo Le Fee .
The club has enquired about his contract. [via @fabriziorom ]

For the equivalent of £20m this is as no brainer a signing as there is out there. Exactly the sort of thing we praise brighton or bvb for.

Oh look there's bvb with their muddy pawprints all over his agent planning to buy him for £20m then sell him on to the EPL suckers in 12-24 months for £80-100m.

He looks like a quicker veratti to me with similar ability. I'd rather we bring him in this season as part of our midfield rebuild but wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in germany.

There was a French football expert journalist on United People's TV who basically said he's talented but more in the mid to lower table range. He's seen a lot of him. The conversation basically went like this -

Sam Peoples: "Le Fée seems like the ideal United signing. Here's Ligue 1 expert to confirm this...?"
Journalist: "He's very talented and could one day play for a big club but I think he's more suitable for a Bournemouth, Leeds etc."
Sam Peoples: "Very talented you say? Yes, definitely a must sign for United."
Journalist: "Umm, well..."
Sam Peoples: "Erik sign him up Erik Erik sign him up!"
Journalist: "Bournemouth"
Sam Peoples: "That's all we have time for. You heard it here first - Enzo Le Fée is the perfect signing for United!"#

(Not a knock on Sam Peoples BTW - I like him a lot. I just think he was just so convinced that Enzo was quality that he kinda ignored the journalist's reticence)

He looks stylistically very good and in the FDJ profile but that doesn't mean he has the class to adapt to a team like United. Not that he doesn't have the potential but, from what I've heard from people who watch him regularly, he has become a bit overhyped amongst United supporters.

For the quoted £20m fee it's a no-lose punt. You'll basically make that back by selling him on in a year or two if he's not up to scratch. And if he adapts to the pace and physicality of this league then you've got a proper player on your hands that you've picked up for peanuts.

He plays as a advanced attacker for Lorient and would be someone who would be a alternative to Bruno. In a deeper role I don't believe he has the progression via passing the ball to elevate ten Hag's vertical playstyle in the first phase. Just being good at carrying/dribbling the ball isn't enough in the build up phase.

I'd say Le Fee along with Kudus and Veiga (also linked) are best utilised as attacking midfielders.
