Man Utd advised to make Frenkie de Jong transfer U-turn as two alternatives named

Manchester United should try and sign Declan Rice or Harry Kane as their marquee signing this summer rather than Frenkie de Jong.

That's according to Teddy Sheringham, who does not believe the Netherlands international will "set the world alight" if he does join United in the transfer window. De Jong has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for much of the summer and is Erik ten Hag's top midfield target following Christian Eriksen's arrival.

Tyrell Malacia became United's first swoop of the window as he joined in a £15m deal from Feyenoord before Eriksen made the switch on a free transfer. United then finalised their third signing on Sunday afternoon as Lisandro Martinez completed his £55m transfer from Ajax.
