Barcelona have offered an ultimatum to midfielder Frenkie de Jong after the club agreed an initial transfer fee with Manchester United for his transfer.
United have agreed an initial fee of £56.2million for the Dutch international, who has already cleared out his locker at Barca with a move to Old Trafford appearing to be edging closer. New United boss Erik ten Hag coached the midfielder at Ajax and held a phone call to convince the player that he should join his project at Old Trafford.
The negotiation process between the clubs has become drawn out over months with the player still on holiday and with his future remaining unclear. However, United have remained confident throughout that they will attain the midfielder – who is so central to Ten Hag’s plans.
