Man Utd transfer chiefs pictured in Barcelona in attempt to salvage Frenkie de Jong deal

Manchester United chiefs John Murtough and Richard Arnold are both in Barcelona amid the club's continued interest in Frenkie De Jong.

The Dutchman is seemingly the No 1 summer target at Old Trafford with Erik ten Hag keen to reunite with a player whom he helped blossom at Ajax. New central midfielders are also on the wishlist on the red half of Manchester and they've spent much of the summer trying to get a deal for De Jong over the line.

The player himself has been reluctant to involve himself in any transfer talk and recently quashed any hopes United had of signing him, as per reports in Spain. Nevertheless United remain hopeful of signing De Jong, who was linked with the Camp Nou exit door as the Spanish club look to balance the books.
