According to the Daily Mirror, Louis van Gaal is ready to look elsewhere after another blow in his pursuit of the AS Roma star, who has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Bender has also been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona in recent months after some impressive displays in the Bundesliga, and could be a good buy for United.
It’s clear the Red Devils need additions in midfield for next season, and Bender now appears to be the club’s first choice in that position.
