Three Manchester United transfer targets responded to Donny van de Beek's pre-season social media post to generate excitement around the club's fanbase.
United are closing in on a deal to sign Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong with an initial transfer fee agreed with Barcelona for £56.2million. They are also close to a £14million deal to land De Jong’s Netherlands international teammate Tyrell Malacia – Feyenoord's left-back.
However, no deals have yet been formally concluded despite United returning to pre-season action this week under new boss Erik ten Hag. The squad has been significantly scaled back from last season with Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani and Lee Grant all leaving at the end of their contracts with no new signings as yet.
