Manchester United desperately seeking new central midfielder for next season

Manchester United are set to undergo a squad overhaul under new manager Erik ten Hag this summer following a disastrous 2021-22 campaign for the club. One area of the pitch the 20-time English champions will need to recruit for is central midfield. This is due to the imminent departures of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic on free transfers. United's failure to qualify for the Champions League may ultimately hamper their ambitions to sign elite-level players. However, reports linking the Manchester outfit with Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong refuse to go away. When asked about the links to Old Trafford, the 25-year-old Dutch international told reporters (as per ): "You’re always flattered when teams show interest in you as a player. But, as you say, I am at the biggest club in the world at the moment and I feel fine there, so no news." De Jong has made 140 appearances for the Blaugrana since his big-money €86 million move from Ajax in 2019, where he was previously coached by Ten Hag.sounds like a United player already?sounds like a United player already?
