Manchester United believe they could have an advantage in Teun Koopmeiners race

Manchester United does not want to be spectators in the Teun Koopmeiners race and wants to use its advantage in the midfielder’s pursuit.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness, Manchester United are keen on Teun Koopmeiers and will use their advantage to get the deal done. Liverpool and Juventus are also chasing the €60 million target in a big way, but the Red Devils reportedly have a significant advantage over their rivals.

Manchester United in Teun Koopmeiners race

Manchester United are looking for a new midfielder to bolster their squad. Since the arrival of Erik ten Hag, numerous Dutch players have been linked, with many even coming on board. Teun Kooppmeiners may also become a potential arrival, according to that logic.

Incidentally, Manchester United are not planning on being mere spectators and watching their rivals battle it out for the €60 million Liverpool target. Instead, they will use their advantage with Atalanta to get ahead in the chase for the Dutch midfielder.

The report hints that Manchester United have a superior relationship due to their past business with Atalanta. The Red Devils signed striker Rasmus Hojlund last summer, while a few years back, they paid big money for Amad Diallo. Whether these deals play an advantage for the Red Devils remains the question.

In any case, Ten Hag will seek a big midfield signing to complement Kobbie Mainoo, and Koopmeiners could well be that star. Manchester United will know that taking this chase lightly could cost them, as many clubs, including Liverpool and Juventus, are seriously chasing the Dutch midfielder.

Liverpool are a serious contender for Koopmeiners

Koopmeiners’ position on the pitch makes him a misfit for Liverpool. Yet, the Merseysiders are serious contenders for the midfielder, having recently enquired about his availability. The Reds are also in a decent position to pay the €60 million that Atalanta wants to sell the Dutch midfielder.

Juventus are considered the favourites, with the player also considering staying in Italy where he is comfortable. Hence, for Manchester United, it’s a tricky situation when it comes to chasing the Dutch midfielder, although, as the report states, they might have that big advantage with the Serie A side.
