Numerous reports are suggesting that Manchester United are edging closer to striking a deal with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong.
The Manchester Evening News previously reported the midfielder is a primary target for new boss Erik ten Hag. An exit from the Nou Camp has been made more likely by Barcelona’s dire financial situation, which sees them sunk in around £1bn’s worth of debt.
Ten Hag is keen to renew ties with the playmaker, the 25-year-old being part of his Ajax squad that made it to the 2019 Champions League semi-finals. In the January prior, he had secured a move to Spain for the following summer, so stayed on to lift the Eredivisie title with the Dutch giants.
