Manchester United chiefs are serious about competing for Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek.

The Daily Star says Van de Beek is on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's wishlist.

However, there's growing concern behind the scenes at Old Trafford that he would prefer a move to Real Madrid.

United will need to raise some funds through player departures.

Paul Pogba's future at the club remains unclear.

Like Van de Beek, he's been repeatedly linked with Real.
