Manchester United transfer target Frenkie de Jong was one of the first members of Barcelona's international contingent to report back for pre-season training on Monday morning amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future.
United registered their interest in the Barcelona midfielder two months ago and have been locked in talks with the Spanish giants ever since. The Manchester Evening News understands that the Reds have agreed a deal in principal with Barcelona to sign the Dutchman.
It is understood that United have agreed a fee worth €65million (£56.14m), plus additional add-ons. Despite this, Barcelona president Joan Laporta said last week that Barcelona want to keep De Jong.
