Manchester United have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Alexis Mac Allister with reports that the midfielder would want Champions League football guaranteed, should he leave Brighton this summer.
United are among a number of clubs interested in Mac Allister, with Erik ten Hag keen on adding a top-class midfielder to his ranks. The Dutchman failed to land Frenkie de Jong last summer and remains in the hunt for a ball-playing No.8 of a similar profile, once he lands the priority position of a striker.
Mac Allister has attracted interest from the Premier League's top sides, following a brilliant season on the south coast as Roberto De Zerbi's side make a late push for European football. However a place in the top-four is highly unlikely and the Athletic suggest that could see the Argentine look elsewhere in search of Champions League experience.
