Man Utd interested in Barcelona midfielder De Jong

Barcelona's Frenkie De Jong is one of the midfielders Manchester United are interested in signing this summer, but no deal is imminent.

New United manager Erik ten Hag worked with De Jong at Ajax between 2017 and 2019.

De Jong helped Ajax reach the Champions League semi-finals in 2019 before he moved to Barcelona in a £75m deal.

United are expected to sign at least one midfielder this summer, with Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata leaving Old Trafford.

De Jong has two years left on his Barcelona contract, and their financial problems may mean they are willing to sell this summer.

Talks have been held about a potential deal, but the failure to qualify for the Champions League will count against United if Barcelona decide to sell.
