Manchester United have been told two players could be hindering their pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Former Premier League striker and talkSPORT analyst Gabriel Agbonlahor has claimed that the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's future and Paul Pogba's departure could be causing De Jong to think twice about a move. Erik ten Hag has identified De Jong as his top target, with United already confirming the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen.
United have been in discussions with Barcelona for over two months. The Manchester Evening News understands a deal in principle has been agreed upon, though Barca president Joan Laporta has since insisted the midfielder is not for sale.
