Manchester United are continuing to pull out all of the stops to sign Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong, but the player is still reluctant to leave the Nou Camp this summer.
Erik ten Hag has now signed Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen despite a slow start to the summer transfer window, and a deal for Lisandro Martinez has been agreed with Ajax. But De Jong has been their main transfer target since Ten Hag took on the role, with the Dutchman keen to reunite with his former star.
With the season fast approaching they face an ultimatum, either put all their eggs in one basket and hope that a move gets completed, or face deadline day with the knowledge that they've potentially wasted a whole summer trying. Former United manager David Moyes chose the latter, and it didn't end well.
