After a slow start to the summer transfer window, Manchester United's social media team will find themselves busy sooner rather than later.
That is because the club, as reported by the Manchester Evening News , are closing in on the signings of Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia and Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. United have agreed fees with both clubs and are hopeful of adding both players to the squad ahead of flying out to Thailand for the start of the pre-season tour in just over a week's time.
United's pursuit of De Jong has been long and, at times, frustrating. But after seven weeks and countless discussions with Barcelona, the midfielder is now one step closer to being reunited with former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag.
