The Portuguese tactician wants Dendoncker to give Frenchman Paul Pogba serious competition for the midfield position at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile Anderlecht chiefs are said to be considering allowing Dendoncker to join any club that are willing to pay the asking price of £30 million.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Spanish giants Barcelona are also said to be monitoring the player for the possibility of luring him away this summer.
