Manchester United have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong with Barcelona admitting that they may need to sell the star this summer.
Central midfield is an area in which United need to bolster their options ahead of several key departures this term. De Jong has been identified as a candidate, according to reports in the Catalan press, who claim new United boss Erik Ten Hag is hoping he can convince his former player to join him in the Premier League.
United confirmed the appointment of Ten Hag earlier this month and his ongoing assessment of his new squad of players continued as he attended his first United match in person as he watched them lose against Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season. De Jong starred under Ten Hag at Ajax and the latter is hoping to reunite with the midfield ace.
