Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag has identified De Jong as a top target this summer as the club’s new manager eyes a reunion with his former Ajax player.

Unfortunately for him, the Dutch midfielder does not seem keen on leaving Barcelona with his current employers looking to sell him in order to raise some much-needed funds.

Speaking about his future earlier this week, De Jong said: “I have enough confidence in myself [to be a success at Barcelona]. I am not afraid. I recently spoke extensively with the trainer [Xavi]. That was a very good conversation.
