Thomas Tuchel has played down Chelsea’s links with Frenkie de Jong after admitting he’s not prioritising a new midfielder.
Manchester United have of course spent much of the summer chasing the Barcelona star, and are continuing their pursuit despite being continually left frustrated in their discussions. United have also been hit in recent days by suggestions that De Jong would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge.
Reports have claimed the Netherlands international would favour a move to London were he to leave the Nou Camp. Gary Neville has also added fuel to the fire after revealing he'd been told De Jong would prefer a move to Chelsea over United.
