Manchester United could reportedly look to use Donny van de Beek as a makeweight in a deal as they look to improve their midfield.
According to a report by Italian outlet CMW, United are prepared to offer the Dutchman to AC Milan in a swap deal for Ismael Bennacer. The 24-year-old has excelled since joining Milan in 2019 and is reportedly attracting plenty of attention from the Premier League, including United.
It is reported that the Italian giants want £38million for his signature this summer. But United are prepared to offer them Van de Beek in the hope they will be required to pay less cash upfront.
