Frenkie de Jong 'disgusted' with Barcelona after Xavi phone call confirms Man Utd agreement

Frenkie de Jong has been left 'disgusted' by Barcelona after boss Xavi Hernandez informed him of their decision to sell him to Manchester United over a phone call.

De Jong returned to training at the club's facilities on Monday before United transfer chiefs Richard Arnold and John Murtough jetted to the Catalan capital to conclude an agreement between the sides. They met with Barca president Joan Laporta alongside the club's transfer officials Mateu Alemany, Jordi Cruyff and Rafa Yuste.

United already had an initial transfer fee agreed with Barcelona for the value of £56.2million, with it now reported by Catalan TV station TV3 that a total package worth £72million has now been agreed. On Monday night, Xavi phoned the player to inform him of the situation.
