Gary Neville has made a joke about Manchester United’s pursuit of Frenkie de Jong amid new reports claiming the player is adamant he doesn’t want a transfer.
The Netherlands international is still Erik ten Hag’s top summer target, despite the midfielder underlining that his preference is to stay at Barcelona. A deal in principle has been agreed with the Spanish giants but that is now looking increasingly insignificant.
Barcelona are understood to be yet to pay De Jong the wages owed to him upon a Covid-19 wage deferment agreement. He is currently away with Barca on their pre-season tour in the USA.
