Barcelona have arranged a meeting with the agents of Frenkie de Jong in a last-ditch attempt to force him to accept a transfer offer from Manchester United.
De Jong has been the subject of a fresh approach from United at the end of a lengthy summer transfer saga. However, United's signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, which was confirmed on Friday evening, has ended their urgency to invest in the position.
However, Mirror Football exclusively reported that United's pursuit of De Jong is not over as the club will continue to back new boss Erik ten Hag in the transfer market in order to challenge on all fronts this season, with Antony and Cody Gakpo, of Ajax and PSV Eindhoven respectively, also on their shortlist.
