Manchester United could all launch bids for Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners in the coming months as Erik Ten Hag wants to add to his squad this summer window.

There are some big changes coming to the club over the next few months as constant rumours in the media are suggesting that Erik Ten Hag is in his finals few days as boss of the Red Devils.

But there is also alot of specculation that quite a few players will look to depart the club and a number of players will be brought in – and there have been some reports that Koopmeiners is a player that he would like to bring to Merseyside.

Although Manchester United improved their midfield last summer – the rumours that United could see a few midfielders depart the club means that they will need to sign some ready-made replacements – and Koopmeiners is on the list.

Tutto Atalanta have named three Prem clubs who they believe could “easily” afford the former AZ Alkmaar ace, and Man United are one of those clubs.

Atalanta president Antonio Percassi recently opened up on the future of Teun Koopmeiners – Asked whether he’d take £50m for the midfielder, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Only if it was consistent with the strategy required for a provincial club which must always have its accounts in order.

“If you make a deal, it is because you have an equivalent replacement.

“We are prepared to sell key players for Atalanta, if there is a parachute.”

And amid all the speculation – Kevin Strootman recently come out and backed his international team-mate to make a big move: “Koopmeiners and Zirkzee are doing very well,” Strootman told Radio TV Serie A, as transcribed by Tuttomercatoweb.

“Atalanta and Bologna are teams to be treated with great respect. I read that many top clubs would like them, they will also have their ambitions.

“They are players with extra quality and I hope they will also show it at the European Championship.

“I think after that they can choose wherever they want to go, I’m sure they are ready for a big leap.”
