Erik ten Hag told he already has perfect alternative to Frenkie de Jong at Man Utd

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has urged Erik ten Hag to abandon his pursuit of Frenkie de Jong in the wake of Casemiro's impressive performances at the World Cup.

De Jong, 25, is back on United's radar after a blockbuster summer switch failed to materialise. Ten Hag worked closely with De Jong at Ajax, where the playmaker flourished, and quickly installed the Barcelona ace as his priority transfer target after arriving at United.

The Dutchman was eventually forced to admit defeat in his bid to lure De Jong to Old Trafford and instead turned his attention to Casemiro - who has already made a significant impact at the club since arriving from Real Madrid.
