French media reported yesterday that United have contacted the representatives of Mahrez but they are not alone as Paris St Germain and Barcelona have also noted his performances.
Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has said that the team’s strong start to the Premier League season will not affect their targets for the campaign. The 24-year-old winger is also a regular member of the Algerian national team and has made 18 appearances for his country.
The 18-year-old left-back joined the Leicester academy as a youngster and has been progressing well in the club’s youth leagues, winning the academy Player of the Year last season.
Mahrez bagged a brace in the 3-2 win over West Brom on Saturday.
Leicester have played attacking football under Ranieri and have created 121 chances in the Premier League this season, the fifth highest amount in the division.

Mahrez joined Leicester in 2014 for a paltry fee of €400,000 Euros only, and should they sell him to United in the January transfer window, Leicester are certain to make an enormous profit from the deal.
