Manchester United transfer news LIVE Frenkie de Jong latest, Cristiano Ronaldo updates

Manchester United's pursuit of Frenkie de Jong continues to rumble on but the Reds may finally have the answer to whether he will sign before the window shuts.

On Sunday morning, the Dutchman was once again used out of position in Xavi's side as Raphinha scored the only goal against rivals Real Madrid. Despite De Jong's stance on his future at Camp Nou, Barca's financial woes continue to loom large.

United completed their tour of Thailand and Australia on Saturday as they drew 2-2 with Aston Villa. Despite letting a two-goal lead slip, Ten Hag can feel optimistic following his opening four games in charge.

There were a whole host of standout performers across the tour. However, one Cristiano Ronaldo-sized issue remains.
