A number of Manchester United supporters would prefer to see the club strengthen their midfield options with Jude Bellingham rather than Frenkie de Jong.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News , United, who will resume their campaign at home to Burnley in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, are open to the prospect of making fresh moves for them. The Reds, following Erik ten Hag's appointment as manager, identified Barcelona ace De Jong as their leading transfer target throughout the summer window.
United first signalled their interest in the Netherlands international in May and were keen to sign him throughout the summer, so much so that their pursuit lasted for more than 100 days. The Reds, at the end of June, agreed a fee with the La Liga giants to sign the midfielder but saw the deal break down because of a dispute over unpaid wages at the Barcelona end of the deal.
