The Manchester United could take advantage of the exit of the FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
The Catalan club was eliminated from the competition after Inter beat Victoria Plzen last night.
Finishing third in the group, Barca have now dropped out of the Europa League.
According to The Daily Express, this would be a serious blow to their finances, and Barca could plan to get rid of players in January.
Frenkie de Jong is the first name mentioned
United’s number one transfer target last summer decided to stay at Barcelona after a chaotic situation regarding his deferred wages.
Erik ten Hag could be tempted to enter the race to sign de Jong this January, with Chelsea and Liverpool reportedly also interested.
Ousmane Dembele is another player that United could be interested in.
The Frenchman has finally shown his true talent under Xavi and has established himself as a vital member of the team.
United will have to pay above all else to sign the elegant winger, who recently signed a new contract at the Camp Nou.
Another player United could consider is Memphis Depay.
Ten Hag’s side is struggling for goals and desperately needs to strengthen the attacking force.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to leave and Anthony Martial’s poor injury record could force United into the market for a striker.
Depay would be a fascinating option. His style of play fits well with Ten Hag’s tactics, and the United manager could turn him into a lethal centre-forward.
