Frenkie de Jong admits he's 'flattered' by interest from Man United

Frenkie de Jong admitted he was 'flattered' by interest from Manchester United after the Holland midfielder turned in a dazzling display in their 3-2 win over Wales.

The Barcelona star is United's top summer target as new boss Erik ten Hag looks to be reunited with the player who was such a key man for him during their time at Ajax.

Asked about United's pursuit of him, De Jong said: 'You're always flattered when teams show interest in you as a player but I am at the biggest club in the world at the moment and I feel fine there, so no news.'

De Jong is valued at about £70million by Barcelona and is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the game.

He ran the show for the Dutch for much of the game against Wales, who nearly escaped with a draw despite going 2-0 down.

Sportsmail previously reported that United's interest in Denmark star Christian Eriksen does not rule out a move for De Jong who is seen as their number one target.

Eriksen's availability as a free agent is an attractive proposition for United who are working on a limited budget this summer after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

 Although the former Tottenham and Ajax star is 30-years-old and No 10 is not a priority position for United - with Donny van de Beek set to return to Old Trafford as competition for Bruno Fernandes - the club need to replace three attacking midfielders following the departures of Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba who was on Tuesday night close to rejoining Juventus.
