Frenkie de Jong admits he is well aware of Manchester United's interest in signing him this summer, but he has refused to state whether or not he has spoken to Erik ten Hag about such a move.
United are weighing up a potential £75million move for Barcelona midfielder De Jong after new manager Ten Hag identified the 25-year-old as an ideal target. Ten Hag worked with the Barcelona midfielder at Ajax and the Manchester Evening News understands United have contacted Barcelona about De Jong's potential availability.
The Dutch international is contracted to Barcelona until 2026, having joined the club from Ajax for £65m in 2019, but the emergence of Pedri and Gavi in midfield has plunged his future into doubt. The Catalan club have also experienced financial problems, and De Jong's sale could be needed to help fund new signings.
