Manchester United chiefs Richard Arnold and John Murtough have jetted to Barcelona as they look to get a deal for Frenkie de Jong over the line.
The Dutch midfielder has been the club's No 1 transfer target throughout the summer but no agreement has been struck that will take him to Old Trafford. Barcelona are demanding top dollar whilst the player himself is reluctant to go, recently pouring cold water on any move.
The Spanish club do need to balance the books such is their financial situation and the United pair have largely been discussing the £17m in unpaid wages that is still owed to De Jong whilst out in Catalunya. They met with several leading lights at Barcelona: Mateu Alemany, Rafa Yuste and Jordi Cruyff.
