Frenkie de Jong is the main target, but the player has complicated the whole operation declaring he does not want to leave FC Barcelona, being the club of his dreams. Given this situation, and as reported by talkSport, they have three options on the agenda to arrive in the summer.

United’s midfield alternatives

Rúben Neves is one of the best players in his position in the Premier League in recent years and is a player that the club likes due to his ball delivery, long-range shot and long passes. His price is high, but lower than Frenkie de Jong’s. His contract expires in the summer of 2024.

Another option for the ‘Red Devils’ is Youri Tielemans. The Belgian has become a market opportunity because his contract with Leicester City expires in the summer of 2023 and he has no intention of renewing. He is a player who has always shone in the Premier League and feels he is ready to make the jump to a top team next season. He has a good long distance shot and a dominant physique for the position.

The Argentine Leandro Paredes is one of PSG's rejects this summer and is looking for a new club for next season. His contract expires in the summer of 2024. The Parisian side wants to get 35 million euros for him, which would complicate the operation because the Red Devils do not wish to pay such a sum for the midfielder.
