Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong says he has no plans to leave Barcelona for Manchester United in the summer.
The Reds had agreed a deal in principle worth around £62m for the 25-year-old in July but the player’s disagreements with his club over wages proved too big a hurdle to overcome, and so United instead ultimately dished out an initial £60m to Real Madrid for Casemiro.
The Manchester Evening News understands that Erik ten Hag is still open to bringing in De Jong this summer with the Reds boss after a midfielder alongside a new striker during the next window, which has been earmarked as the period for the next recruitment drive.
