Man United handed major boost in pursuit of £72m midfielder


 

Manchester United are not able to offer any summer transfer targets Champions League football next season.

Having missed out on finishing inside the Premier League’s top-four, the Red Devils will be forced to play in the Europa League throughout the 2022-23 campaign.

New manager Erik Ten Hag will be desperate to bring in some of the best players on the market but has so far found it difficult due to the club’s underwhelming European status.

One player who is believed to be at the very top of Ten Hag’s wishlist is Barcelona and former Ajax midfielder Frenkie De Jong.

However, before the Red Devils can continue in their efforts to sign De Jong, who, according to Fabrizio Romano, is valued at as much as £72m (€85m), they must first convince him to join a club who are not in Europe’s top tier.
