Manchester United transfer news RECAP Frenkie de Jong latest as United get Eriksen boost

Manchester United will return for pre-season in just seven days.

Although it seems hardly any time has passed since United finished their dreadful campaign in fitting style with a 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace, those players who haven't been on international duty will report back to Carrington on June 27 to begin work under new manager Erik ten Hag.

It also means United have just a week left to get their first signing over the line in order for Ten Hag to have some of his own players to work with as he looks to implement his style of play on the squad as soon as possible.

A deal continues to be worked on for Frenkie de Jong and CEO Richard Arnold gave fans an update on the chase on Saturday: "Money is not a consideration on who we want," Arnold said in a video posted to Twitter by user @MufcWonItAll. "The manager wants him (De Jong) and they have actually done the work. He's a great player.

"Is it 100 or 200? I don't know. Get who you f***ing want. Do you want me buying the players? Does that not ring a bell?"

A recap of the day's United news.

Ryan Giggs has confirmed that he has officially stepped down from his role as Wales national team manager.

The former Manchester United winger has been on leave from his position as Wales boss since November 2020 as he faces a domestic violence trial on August 8 in Manchester. Giggs denies the charges.

In a public statement, Giggs confirmed reports that he has quit the role completely ahead of the World Cup this winter. He said: "It has been an honour and a privilege to manage my country, but it is only right that the Wales FA, the coaching staff and the players prepare for the tournament with certainty, clarification and without speculation around the position of their head
