Manchester United have been trying to sign Frenkie de Jong throughout the summer transfer window. The Dutch midfielder is Erik ten Hag's priority target and will likely be fundamental to how he wants his side to play next season.
The Manchester Evening News understands that United have agreed a fee with Barcelona. However, the player is currently stuck in a dispute with Barca over deferred wages and this is causing problems.
United fans have started to panic and De Jong's inclusion in Barcelona's pre-season tour squad has done little to calm their nerves. Some have questioned whether it would be better to pursue other targets to ensure Ten Hag gets enough time to implement his style of play.
