Wrexham have shown interest in a Manchester United youngster set to be released next month.

The 2024/25 season has only just ended, but Wrexham are already turning their attention toward the summer transfer window.

In the last week, several players have been tipped to make a move to the Racecourse Ground.

After being linked back in January, Plymouth Argyle’s Ryan Hardie is on Wrexham’s radar once more.

Elsewhere, Callum Robinson has been linked after he scored 12 goals in a Cardiff City team that suffered relegation from the Championship.

Now, another player is said to be of interest to Phil Parkinson and Co.

Wrexham interested in Manchester United’s Jack Kingdon

As was first revealed by EFL Analysis, Wrexham are one of several sides showing an interest in Manchester United’s Jack Kingdon.

The 19-year-old’s contract at Old Trafford runs out this summer, and the Red Devils have confirmed he will be leaving for free.

Wrexham could face some stiff competition to land the defender’s signature, however, with three more Championship teams also credited with an interest.

They are the recently relegated Leicester City, Millwall, and John Eustace’s Derby County.

What Wrexham fans need to know about Jack Kingdon

Kingdon joined Manchester United from Morecambe in November 2020 for an undisclosed fee.

The centre-back earned promotion to the club’s first-team training squad back in 2024 but has not made a senior appearance for the club.

Kingdon is a Scotland U19 international and has made 15 appearances at U21 level for the Manchester outfit.

He spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan in the National League with Rochdale, where the stopper made 15 appearances and provided one assist.

Kingdon is a natural centre-back but has enjoyed limited stints at left and right-back as well.
