Manchester United will make an attempt to sign Frenkie de Jong within the next seven days, according to reports.
The Red Devils are purportedly hoping to tie the 25-year-old down to a deal before they face Liverpool at Old Trafford on August 20. De Jong is still United's top priority transfer target, following the arrivals of Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia earlier in the window.
Erik ten Hag has been chasing the Barcelona star since he became the club's new manager back in May, but a deal still has not been reached. The Red Devils had reportedly agreed a fee with the Catalan giants for De Jong, but the move was turned down by the player, with the Netherlands international still owed unpaid wages and reluctant to move to Manchester.
