Despite their failure to sign Frenkie de Jong in the summer, Manchester United are not giving up on the idea.

He never gave any indication that he was willing to leave the club.

In the summer, Ten Hag wants to revisit the situation.

The signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid for £70m was one of the signings that United made after they missed out on Dejong.

Even with last summer's influx of new arrivals, Ten Hag thinks De Jong would fit in.

Jude Bellingham will have to make a decision next summer.

He met Sir Alex Ferguson on a tour of United's training ground. Some United staff thought they would get the services of the then-21-year-old, but he ended up signing for the German team.

With every major club in the world interested in a player who was outstanding in England's run to the World Cup quarter-finals they are not the favorites, but United feel they could still make a compelling case for why Bellingham should join them.

The priority for Ten Hag is to get a new forward.

The club's ownership situation makes it hard to make any significant signings next month.
