Manchester United could target Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, if the deal for Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong breaks down, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Barcelona midfielder has been widely expected to join the Old Trafford club this summer, but Tielemans has also been linked with a move to the Manchester side this transfer window.
United are on ‘high alert’ after Arsenal’s interest in Tielemans has cooled, with Mikel Arteta’s side focused on other targets as of now, according to talkSPORT.
The same report suggests that the £49.5m-rated maestro’s move to the Gunners was expected to be completed by now, however Arteta’s side’s failure to secure a Champions League place for the upcoming season has led to a change of heart from the Leicester star.
