Manchester United have been told they are embarrassing themselves by attempting to sign Frenkie de Jong, who sees the club as "the runt of the litter".
The Red Devils have been pursuing the Dutchman throughout the majority of the transfer window, Erik ten Hag attempting to manufacture a reunion with his former Ajax star in order to add to his midfield options at Old Trafford. So far, United have agreed a fee with the Spanish giants but De Jong remains unconvinced about a switch.
The Dutchman is remaining firm over his stance of staying at the Camp Nou as he holds out for wages owed to him by the club - whilst he also wants to continue playing in the Champions League.
