The latest update says United are still pursuing Page despite the earlier move not getting done. That does not make a transfer imminent, but it keeps the story active and points to unfinished business between the clubs.
There is also context on Leicester’s side. Other reports say Leicester are 17th in League One after a 4-0 home defeat to Oxford United, with Russell Martin under pressure after one win in the club’s first five games. In that environment, every squad decision carries more weight. A club struggling for results can be tempted by a sale, but it can also become more cautious about losing midfield depth if the manager needs stability quickly.
For United, sustained interest after the window closed is the clearest market signal here. Clubs do not usually keep revisiting a deal unless they believe the player fits a specific tactical or squad-building need. That is especially true in midfield, where recruitment tends to be tied closely to balance, rotation and long-term planning.
For Leicester, the timing is awkward. A difficult start to the season changes the calculus. If results remain poor, the club may have to weigh financial logic against the risk of weakening an already unstable team.
The next step is whether talks are revived in a meaningful way before the next available opportunity to register players. Until then, Page has been linked with United rather than lined up for a confirmed move.
The key indicators will be simple: whether United’s interest stays active, whether Leicester’s form improves, and whether the player remains central to Martin’s plans.
