Frenkie De Jong is refusing to leave Barcelona despite the club accepting an offer from Manchester United, according to reports in Spain.
The midfield has been Erik ten Hag's No.1 target since arriving at Old Trafford and an offer worth £70m - £56m of it being upfront - was agreed between the two parties following weeks of negotiations. However, the player himself is determined to remain at the Nou Camp.
De Jong moved to Spain from Ajax, where he worked with Ten Hag, three years ago and has often declared it his dream move. United are in a rebuild phase and cannot offer Champions League football whilst the Catalan club are looking to push on under new boss Xavi and claim vital financial funds.
