The Dutchman was heavily linked with the Red Devils earlier this year and there were suggestions that he could replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

However, Wan-Bissaka had an excellent second half to the previous campaign and this convinced manager Erik ten Hag to continue with him.

Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot are currently the right-back choices, but Calciomercato claim that United could yet move for Dumfries.

Ten Hag was interested in signing the attacking full-back during his time at Ajax. Dumfries used to play for Eredivisie rivals PSV Eindhoven.

Dumfries has had a bright start to the campaign and he has already accumulated two goals and four assists from 12 appearances.

He recently spoke about the possibility of signing a new contract but United could make a surprise approach to sign him by next summer.

Dumfries would be an ideal fit for Ten Hag's playing style with his strong athleticism, physical presence and chance creation skills.
