Dwight Yorke claims Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong did not rule out a move to Manchester United during a chat between them but wanted to work with Xavi first.
Yorke was recently in charge of Australian club Macarthur FC with his first game a friendly against the Catalan giants last summer, in which the Dutch midfielder played. That match came as United had an initial transfer fee of £56.2million agreed with Barca to sign the 25-year-old.
However, the deal did not materialise as De Jong instead preferred to remain at Camp Nou for this season. The midfielder is once again top of United’s summer transfer shortlist as his former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag aims to bring him to Old Trafford.
