Barcelona manager Xavi insists Frenkie de Jong is still a 'key player' for the club despite interest from Manchester United in his signature.
The Manchester Evening News revealed earlier this week United are weighing up a possible deal for De Jong and are aiming to sign another midfielder in the summer transfer window.
Erik ten Hag coached De Jong during his time at Ajax and it is understood the incoming United manager has already reached out to the player's agent, Ali Dursun, to gauge whether he would be receptive to an Old Trafford move. Dursun has also represented Donny van de Beek since October.
