Man Utd in pole position to land Dutch defender

Manchester United find themselves in pole position to land Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries at the end of the campaign.

The Dutchman has been a long-term target for manager Erik ten Hag and he initially tried to sign him during his time as Ajax boss.

Ten Hag continues to retain an interest and Corriere dello Sport claim that the right-back could end up at Old Trafford in the summer.

Dumfries has fallen out-of-favour recently at the Nerazzurri, but he continues to attract interest from some of Europe's elite clubs.

United and Bayern have been linked for a while but the latter are currently on the verge of landing Sacha Boey from Galatarasay.

With this in mind, Corriere dello Sport highlight that United now have a clear path to landing Dumfries with no big competition.

Things could change between now and the next transfer window, but United seem well placed to sign the Netherlands international.

He could come in as a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has been touted to leave amid his contract stand-off at the club.
