Manchester United recently took over Donny van de Beek from Ajax and it may not stop there for this transfer period. The Red Devils are currently busy with the arrival of FC Porto defender Alex Telles, but also have an alternative in mind. According to reports from England, Nicolás Tagliafico comes into the picture when Manchester United fails to bring in Telles.

Among other The Sun reports Tuesday evening that Tagliafico at Old Trafford is seen as a suitable alternative to Telles. The asking price for the fullback of Ajax, who was already associated with Chelsea and Leicester City earlier in the transfer period, would be around 25 million euros, which is expected to be as expensive as Telles.

According to reports, Manchester United is not yet planning to transfer this amount to FC Porto. The English would have tried with an earlier offer to involve Diogo Dalot in a possible deal for Telles. Os Dragões are not waiting for their ex-player to return and will only accept cash.

If Manchester United and FC Porto ultimately do not come out, there is a chance that they will knock again in Amsterdam. Previously, the superpower Ajax already paid an amount of up to 44 million for Van de Beek. The midfielder made his debut in the Premier League last weekend and was immediately accurate. However, Van de Beek could not prevent his team from losing the first game to Crystal Palace.
