Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has received a boost in his pursuit of signing a forward with Barcelona set to confirm their intentions to sell Memphis Depay.
Ten Hag has confirmed his intentions to bolster the club's attacking options after Edinson Cavani was among multiple first-team exits while Cristiano Ronaldo is determined to depart Old Trafford this summer. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are the only remaining senior forwards in United's squad.
United have agreed an initial transfer fee with Barcelona for midfielder Frenkie de Jong and will not give up on a deal for the Dutch international, but have also been linked with a move for his club and international teammate Memphis as the two parties maintain a healthy relationship in negotiations. Barca will inform the forward that they intend to sell him ahead of the new season commencing.
