Agent of Man United target says player wants a new challenge
Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho has been keen on the 22-year-old Belgium international ever since he watched him before against his side in last season’s Europa League – a competition that Man United eventually went on to win, meaning a place in the Champions League next campaign.
Amid weeks of speculation, Dendoncker’s agent, Christophe Henrotay, came out to say to Foot Mercato on Friday, “Anderlecht want to keep him, but the kid wants a new challenge. We’ll see if we can find an agreement with the club, but that seems difficult.”
Having already bought Nemanja Matic from Premier League rivals Chelsea, the Manchester side are well equipped in the holding midfield position, but Dendoncker would be one for the future.
