Nicky Butt showed some of hois old Man Utd form towards the end of the season, but he is approaching 34 years of age, and Keegan is looking to find a replacement.

De Jong was one of the Netherlands' star performers at Euro 2008, and Hamburg boss Martin Jol says he wants to keep hold of the 23-year-old.

But expect a bid from Newcastle sooner or later.
