Sports Courant reported that Manchester United has been linked with Vermeeren, expressing interest when he was still at Antwerp and reportedly continuing to monitor him. He is regarded as a suitable player for the system envisioned by coach Ruben Amorim. However, a transfer is considered more likely after the season, once United has managed to offload several other midfielders. Vermeeren, a 19-year-old midfielder, initially moved from Antwerp to Atlético Madrid in January due to financial reasons, but found it challenging to secure playing time. Consequently, he was loaned to RB Leipzig, where he has played over 20 matches, meeting the conditions for a permanent transfer. Despite this, Manchester United's interest remains, as they await the right moment after restructuring their current midfield lineup.
