Barcelona manager Xavi has provided a fresh update on the future of Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong.
United agreed a fee with the Catalan giants back in June for the services of De Jong. However, due to issues regarding wage deferrals, it is understood that the Dutch midfielder is so far unwilling to leave Camp Nou.
Despite this, as recently as the end of last week, United were still focused entirely on securing the signature of De Jong having ruled that their alternative options were not as strong as the 25-year-old. However, MEN Sport understands that the Reds have reluctantly decided that they must also pursue other midfielders.
