Frenkie de Jong 's move to Manchester United is reportedly close to collapsing after his agent affirmed to Barcelona that he doesn't want to leave.
The Red Devils have a £56million deal in place to sign the 25-year-old, who has been former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag 's top transfer target since his appointment as United's new boss. De Jong, however, has long made it clear that it's his intention to stay at Barcelona, but their perilous financial predicament is forcing the La Liga giants to listen to offers.
Although Red Devils chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough - in charge of the club's transfer operations - made the trip to Spain this week in the hopes of thrashing out a successful conclusion to the saga, their top target continues to dig his heels in in a bid to remain at the Camp Nou.
