Gary Neville reveals what he heard 'third hand' about Frenkie de Jong transfer

Manchester United transfer target Frenkie de Jong would prefer to stay at Barcelona or move to Chelsea this summer, according to Gary Neville.

De Jong is United’s number one target in the summer transfer window, but the deal has been drawn out by a variety of issues. United have not given up on landing the midfielder, who played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, and made a breakthrough on Monday.
