Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker is free to leave the club this month if a buyer meets his £22million valuation.
Manchester United watched the midfielder on a number of occasions last season and he impressed during Anderlecht’s defeat against the Red Devils in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Dendoncker’s agent confirmed in the summer that his client was keen on leaving Belgium and his head had been turned by interest from Manchester United.
However, Anderlecht’s decision to keep the midfielder against his wishes has backfired somewhat and they’re willing to accept around £22m for him this month, according to the Sun.
United spent £145m last summer but Jose Mourinho says he needs more backing in the transfer market if United are to make up ground on Manchester City.
The 54-year-old is targeting PSG winger Lucas Moura this month, as well as two full-backs.
However, with Dendoncker available at such a cut-price United could move for him now given his price could rise in the summer.
