Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong has been linked as being a potential replacement for Lingard, as well as other departing midfielders, and could be keen to reunite with former manager Erik ten Hag, who worked together at Ajax. The transfer has also received the seal of approval of club legend Rio Ferdinand, who told his Vibe YouTube channel: “He doesn’t get too many goals or assists but he gives you many more elements of the game that, I think United need as a team; especially in that position.
“United are definitely losing Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, and Juan Mata, they are all leaving in that position, so it does need reinforcement. And I think he would be a fantastic signing if this deal goes ahead.”
