Reports in Spain suggest Manchester United are getting closer to a deal for Frenkie de Jong.
United’s pursuit of the Barcelona midfielder has been ongoing since the start of the summer. De Jong was identified as an ideal target by Erik ten Hag as the former Ajax boss eyes up a reunion at Old Trafford.
His efforts to make the 25-year-old his first signing haven’t quite gone to plan. United have been left frustrated in their talks with Barcelona, with initial discussions seeing the two sides a fair distance apart in their respective valuations.
