Manchester United are in contact with Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker.

The Manchester Evening News says United have made an enquiry about Dendoncker - but are not expected to sign him this summer, according to sources close to the player.

United are one of a number of clubs 'following' Dendoncker's progress but, after the signing of Nemanja Matic, sources close to the player believe a deal will not happen this summer.

Anderlecht value the 6ft 2in powerhouse somewhere between £22m and £31m.

Dendoncker has made 126 appearances for the Belgian giants' first team since making his debut as a teenager in 2014.
