Frenkie de Jong sent Manchester United fans wild at the weekend as he was spotted liking a post from the club on Instagram.
United’s pursuit of the midfielder has been going on for much of the summer, with Erik ten Hag having identified him as an ideal target as he begins his rebuild. Supporters have had to remain patient, with the club having been in discussion with Barcelona for more than 50 days now.
United did appear to be edging closer to a deal last week. As reported by the Manchester Evening News, a fee was agreed with the Catalan giants, with United set to pay €65m (£56.14m) plus add-ons, though Barcelona president Joan Laporta recently claimed the La Liga side have 'no intention' of selling.
