Manchester United’s summer transfer pursuit of midfielder Frenkie de Jong as Barcelona have denied striking an agreement with the Red Devils over a move for the Dutchman.
In what has been the ongoing saga of the summer transfer window, United boss Erik ten Hag has prioritised a move to be reunited with his former midfielder, although there have been conflicting reports over what will happen in the future with the 44-time Dutch international.
Reports had claimed that United had reached an agreement to sign the midfielder in a deal worth an initial fee of £63m (€75m) plus add-ons. However, that now does not appear to be true, with Barcelona president Joan Laporta denying that any deal had been agreed.
