Frenkie de Jong has already explained why he'd be open to a move to Manchester United this summer.
The Manchester Evening News revealed on Thursday that United have contacted Barcelona about De Jong's availability. The Dutchman is contracted to Barcelona until 2026 but reports linking the midfielder with an exit from La Liga have intensified this week.
Despite those links, reports which have suggested a deal for De Jong is near to completion are wide of the mark. United are in the market for midfield reinforcements this summer, though, with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic both leaving the club at the end of the season.
