Manchester United are still working on a deal to sign Frenkie de Jong but they are also looking at alternatives as the move continues to drag on.
CaughtOffside claim that Wolves star Ruben Neves and Leicester City's Youri Tielemans are still on United’s wish list if they fail to sign De Jong. However, they could miss out on the Premier League duo as they continue to wait for a final decision from Barcelona midfielder.
Both Premier League sides are reluctant to sell their star midfielders, especially with the season being so close to kicking off.
