Manchester United supporters have offered up mixed reactions to a potentially significant update in the pursuit to sign Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman remains the priority target for Erik ten Hag, although negotiations over him have not proved straightforward.
Talks over the Netherlands international started nearly two months ago. It appeared there was a green light for United last month when they confirmed an agreement in principle with Barcelona worth €65million.
That news came at the same time as United agreed terms with Feyenoord for Tyrell Malacia - and the Netherlands defender soon put pen to paper on a switch before jetting out to Thailand with his teammates for the first leg of their summer tour. However, things have not been quite so plain sailing when it comes to De Jong.
