The 24-year-old has impressed for Atalanta this season, helping the Italian club reach the Champions League quarter-finals. According to The Athletic, United have been tracking Koopmeiners’ progress for some time and are now ready to make a move for him. The Red Devils are believed to be willing to pay around £40 million for the midfielder. Koopmeiners is a versatile player who can operate in a number of midfield roles. He is comfortable playing as a deep-lying playmaker, a box-to-box midfielder, or even as a number 10. The Netherlands international has been in excellent form for Atalanta this season, scoring six goals and providing six assists in all competitions. He has also been impressive in the Champions League, scoring two goals and providing one assist in six appearances. Koopmeiners’ impressive performances have not gone unnoticed by other clubs, with Liverpool and Tottenham also reportedly interested in signing him. However, United are believed to be in pole position to land the midfielder. If United do sign Koopmeiners, he would be a valuable addition to their squad. He is a talented and versatile midfielder who would add some much-needed quality to their engine room.
