Barcelona manager Xavi has made a fresh declaration over Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong.
The Dutchman has been mooted with a reunion with incoming Reds boss Erik ten Hag after the 52-year-old confirmed he would be leaving Eredivisie champions, Ajax, for the Premier League. United are eager to improve their midfield after the position came underfire during the current campaign.
Nemanja Matic has already confirmed his departure this summer with Paul Pogba's exit also looming as his contract edges towards expiry. The Manchester Evening News reported earlier this month that the Reds were weighing up a £75m move for the midfielder.
