Leicester boss Russell Martin confirmed earlier this week that the club turned down a bid for Page, though he did not specify whether it came from United or another side. He told Leicestershire Live, “Until something comes in that is really brilliant for the club and player … Louis stays and he’s in the squad.” Martin added that the interest, well‑documented over the summer, has not forced a sale, noting the Red Devils and other clubs must meet the right price. He also referenced United’s director of football Jason Wilcox, saying, “I obviously know their director of football Jason Wilcox at Manchester United very well … we haven’t spoken about Louis because he probably knows what I’d say.” MAN, UTD and PAGE noted the club’s calm stance.
