Manchester United target Moises Caicedo 'more likely' than Frenkie de Jong and more transfer rumours
Manchester United transfer target and Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo could be a more likely signing than Frenkie de Jong in January, according to reports.
The Reds were linked with a move for Barcelona star De Jong throughout the summer transfer window, but a move failed to materialise - despite the two clubs reportedly agreeing a fee for the Dutchman.
Although Erik ten Hag signed Casemiro from Real Madrid last month, United are still thought to be keen on recruiting another midfielder in the next year.

"Frenkie De Jong, obviously, was the player we thought would be coming in initially, but it seems firmly out of sight at the moment," Jones told GiveMeSport. "He looks so happy at Barcelona; things are going well for him there.
So, at this point, maybe you can say Caicedo’s at least more likely than Frenkie De Jong." Elsewhere, free agent Santiago Arias can negotiate with United by his own accord, according to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra.
