Among the objectives that Manchester United has set itself for the current summer transfer window is to strengthen its midfield. The red Devils want to boost a position that has not performed at the desired level during the last season and that has already said goodbye to the Serbian Nemanja Matic, the Spanish Juan Mata and the French Paul Pogba.

In principle, the great desire of the club is none other than Frenkie de Jong. In fact, after confirming Erik ten Hag as the new coach, the board has upped its bid for the Dutch player who is completely appealing to the coach.

United could find an alternative in the Premier League

Although his club, FC Barcelona, seems willing to negotiate, the midfielder is not willing to move. In fact, and despite the growing interest of United, the player has already conveyed to all parties involved that he remains firm in his idea of making a career at the Camp Nou.

Aware that, perhaps it is not possible to change his mind, Old Trafford have begun to consider an alternative. It is, according to the Daily Mirror, Youri Tielemans. The 25 year-old Belgian, he finishes his contract with Leicester City in 2023 and, without intentions of renewing it, he could be a potential move for United.
