Manchester United are allegedly contemplating whether to make an approach for midfielder Jeff Hendrick.

With his contract having expired at Burnley, the Republic of Ireland international has recently been linked with a move to AC Milan.

However, while talk of a surprise switch to San Siro has become less frequent, it appears that the 28-year-old may still secure a switch to a big club.

According to Football Insider, United are among the teams who are considering a move for the free agent over the coming months.

At a time when many clubs have been financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, the report suggests that Hendrick's versatility and lower wage demands make him an attractive option.

Before leaving Burnley, Hendrick contributed two goals and two assists from his 24 outings in the Premier League this season.
