With Frenkie de Jong apparently rejecting them to stay at Barcelona, Manchester United face beginning the new Premier League season with a squad barely better than last season’s. Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, and Christian Eriksen have arrived, but Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to forece an exit, and without midfield reinforcements, the defence could find itself as vulnerable as ever – a big worry given the huge spending at Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
On today’s Scout Report, we’re profiling 3 midfielders United could turn to as de Jong alternatives, including Lazio’s highly-rated Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a Roma midfielder adored by Jose Mourinho, and a former Bayern Munich star wanted by AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. How do they stack up against Frenkie? And what would they bring to Erik ten Hag’s XI?
Find out in our report, and don’t forget to give us your thoughts in the comments.

There is good options out there but the manager is stubborn
fabian ruiz should be an option
How long can united act like a top club despite having mid table finishes?
Sangare
Tielemans is the perfect alternative, cheap, still young and established in the prem
Awful suggestions
Someone needs to get Dani Ceballos out of Real. Probably wolves or Leicester after United get one of Tielemans or Neves. in 19/20 he was incredible at carrying out of pressure,breaking lines with passing and even playing through balls when he got close to the box.
pls do cucurella next for man city
fabian ruiz
Wouldnt say Pogba and Matic were huge flops for united tbh
If McFred is a portmanteau of the names Mctominay and Fred, is Milinkovic a combination of Milenkovic and Robbie Savage?
ETH SMS FDJ why all these terms when you’re literally speaking lol. Typing I get but cmon
SMS is just another fred .renato is to injury prone .cristante ticks a lot of the boxs .but to slow……hope we FDJ.but neves as cheap stop gap would do
Bruno Auoar and an out and out cdm like a christanté or sangare would be a very effective midefield
Been a fan of united since childhood and only now can I truly appreciate Carricks genius in mid back in the day
Y is it that Utd are linked with attacking player all the time and never address the issue of a dm/bwm. Got erikson and Bruno for am/ap. don’t need de jong anyway. just get kante-short term option although injuries now but still top when he plays. or idrissa from psv that would be the better option and probably alot cheaper. Holland is are go 2 now ha, so he got good defensive stats.
1. Sandro tonali
2. Declan Rice
3. Fabian Ruiz
4. Mateo Kovacic
5. Jude Bellingham
They should go for players who wants to play for them….
These are some of the realistic choices as compared to urs…..None of ur choices are realistic.
Youri Tielemans
Wilfred Indidi
Koke
Ruben Neves
or Spurgle Spurgle for Bellingham
There is no alternative. It’s Frenkie or nothing.
Only alternatives are Teilemans (joining Arsenal) Kimmich or Verratti … that’s how unlikely United should be to sign De Jong. But for some magical reason we actually have a chance ❤ Frenkie De Jong WILL BE A MANU PLAYER THIS SEASON
In truth ManU are all in for Frenkie. If we can’t get him we won’t get anyone. Ten Hags words.. 0 alternatives
Antony and De Jong… we won’t sign anyone else. 0 alternatives for both. It’s bullish by Ten Hag but who’s at fault? Recruitment !! If he has alternatives we would be linked to them. We’re not cos there is none and I love that. Scrap 2nd and 3rd choice !! We’re not Chelsea !!
Terrible options, not taking ten hags style and the environment of the players in to consideration.
another goddam embarrassment of a transfer window…
Frankie stats isn't even that good I rather we dun overpay esp the wages, savic will be massive
Replaced Ed Woodward with John Murtough & Richard Arnold seems like nothing different. Very slow dealing transfer 😂
Manu has to try and go for Sandro tonali! He would fit perfectly into ETH gam
‘As the still brilliant bruno fernandes’ 🧐. Nah guys first of all he has never been brilliant. And also he doesn’t have technical quality.. his days are numbered at united
Frankie de Jong alternative should be, Ibrahim sangare, milinko Savic, tomas soucek, tilimens, kovacic,
YOUR THOUGHTS
I'd rate a cristante move so much, but it's sadly never gonna happen
Cristante hell no
If Ndidi is still good and not injury-prone, United should confirm him regardless of Frenkie.
What’s next? Rabiot 😂
