Manchester United could potentially be set to profit from Spanish employment law should they continue their pursuit of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong.
The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the Dutch midfielder for the majority of the summer window, with Erik ten Hag identifying the former Ajax star as a priority signing.
So far, a move to Old Trafford has proven troublesome despite initial thoughts that the Catalans' tricky financial situation would result in them cashing in on De Jong. They have activated a number of financial levers to keep them afloat - something that has allowed them to dip into the market.
