And it seems that it is not Memphis Depay who is being seriously targeted by Manchester United, until now there has been no clarity from the management regarding their interest in bringing Memphis Depay back to Old Trafford and I am also not sure the player wants to rejoin
On the other hand, Manchester United is still quite interested in Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong, following relatively little playing time at Barcelona, even though the player is not a striker. Manchester United desperately need a midfielder and an attacker to compete in the Premier League and Europa, as the players they have in those positions are not very consistent and following injury concerns for Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. However, because there is no certainty from management, I think there will be many possibilities that will occur in the transfer market next winter.
In the past, Manchester United were also interested in signing De Jong. However, as of right now, I am unsure if it would be a worthwhile idea for Manchester United to go after this player. As of right now, Manchester United are in need of a striker. It is my opinion that they should look for a striker first before moving on to other players. Once a striker has been confirmed, they will have the option to look for a midfielder.
As far as I know, they are also in need of a midfielder at the moment. However, probably not as much as a striker would. Franki de Jong is still being considered as a possible acquisition by the team, which I think is great.
