Manchester United have made a huge leap forward in their quest for Frenkie de Jong - and can now at long last shift their concentration to other exchange targets.

 

The Red Devils are supposedly near concurring an arrangement worth around £68 million to sign the 25-year-old midfielder from Barcelona after additional discussions with Camp Nou authorities. When the exchange is finished, United can finally investigate further open doors on the lookout.

 

The Red Devils' choice to focus on getting Netherlands worldwide De Jong - saw as the impetus for new director Erik ten Hag 's unrest - through the entryway before June 30 and their pre-season visit has ended progress on four likely arrangements.

 

Presently, as per ESPN, Ten Hag and football chief John Murtough stand out to a flexible forward who can enhance striker Cristiano Ronaldo, whose own connections of a transition to Chelsea and Bayern Munich have vehemently been suppressed by sources. The switch of center comes after Liverpool came out on top in the competition to sign United target Darwin Nunez, a greater amount of a without a doubt No.9.

 

RB Leipzig superstar Christopher Nkunku was promoted as an objective before in the late spring window, having been one of Europe's most productive flexible advances last season with 35 objectives and 15 helps. Be that as it may, the 24-year-old Frenchman's choice to another agreement - including a £51m discharge condition which becomes dynamic in 2023 - has apparently washed away any club's possibilities marking him this year.

 

Murtough is going up the club's new confronted enrollment group close by recently designated delegate football chief Andy O'Boyle, attempting to sign players fit to Ten Hag's style of play. While De Jong's expansion reinforces the Red Devils' ragged midfield, Old Trafford bosses need to get Christian Eriksen to support their focal unit.

 

 

Be that as it may, the 30-year-old Dane stays unsure on whether to sign for United or remain at Brentford, the club who marked him only a half year subsequent to experiencing a heart failure during an Euro 2020 match the previous summer. Eriksen, similar to De Jong, was blooded as a young person at Ajax, Ten Hag's previous bosses.

 

Not exclusively are ex-Ajax stars on his list of things to get, yet the 52-year-old would quick to rejoin with various individuals from his old crew. Energizing winger Antony as well as flexible protectors Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez have all been tipped to follow Ten Hag and move to Manchester.
