Other European Clubs are also interested in signing himÂ
Jose Mourinho prioritized bolstering Manchester United squad in the summer transfer window after not winning a single silverware last season. They signed Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant before the transfer deadline.
However, the Portuguese was not happy with the outcome of the transfer window as he wanted few more players especially a high profile centre-back and a direct, fast winger to complete his squad.
After losing 2 consecutive games in the Premier League, the Red Devils were looking to be back on track after winning three games in a trot.
They were looking to make it 4 on a run against Wolves on Saturday and started positively after Fred opened the scoring, his first for the club. But they were held to a draw after they conceded a goal in the second-half, much to the frustration of the Portuguese.
However, it has been suggested that the manager will look to make few additions in the January transfer window to mount a Premier League title challenge and will be backed by the club.
The Premier League giants have been recently linked with a move for Ajax star Frenkie de Jong who is considered one of the brightest young talents in Europe.
The 21-year-old came through the ranks at Willem II, before moving to Ajax’s academy. He made his first team debut for the Dutch giants in September 2016 and has gone on to feature 50 times for club.
The midfielder was given his first caps for the Netherlands earlier this month against Peru and France. He has appeared in all the 6 Eredivisie matches this season for the club who are currently second in the league behind PSV Eindhoven.
Manchester City, Barcelona and Tottenham are also monitoring his situation and could move for him if he decides to leave.
Manchester United are hoping that having Edwin van der Sar as Ajax’s CEO will help them sign De Jong, according to Mundo Deportivo.
However, the Eredivisie giants are not keen to sell their prized asset and rate him around £70 million to ward off interest from potential suitors.
