Manchester United are said to still be in contact with Barcelona over the signing of Frenkie de Jong.
Erik ten Hag has been heavily linked with a move for the Dutch midfielder this summer, seemingly refusing to take no for an answer.
De Jong has said he would prefer to remain at Barcelona long-term, but as Barca continue to battle financial issues, it seems they may well offload the Netherlands star.
If they do, United are ready to take full advantage, already submitting an offer, according to a recent report from The Telegraph, via Sport.
According to the report, United have had an offer worth £61.3million including add-ons rejected, but they remain in contact with Barca, who rejected the initial offer.
According to the report, Barca want £72.7million if they are to sell de Jong, but United are said to be willing to up their offer to £61.3million plus add-ons.
It seems United are not ready to give up in their pursuit.
Manchester United are not serious about signing that’s why they’re lagging behind .
City and Liverpool are good to go
What is Man United buying, crayfish? They should buy him already. If they can spend £89million on Pogba and pamper him for six years, if they could pay over £85million for Maguire, if they can keep paying Jones for doing absolutely nothing all these years. If they are so generous as to offer excess wages to over hyped players that they sincely don’t need then they should buy De Jong before he ends up with more serious clubs as Man united fans are getting used to under our new structural overhaul piloted by Arnold and the Glazers. Perhaps Woodard would have done better judging from what we have seen so far. Who knows we probably sign Lewandoski and pay his pension after his blistering career at Bayern Munich. That is unfortunately where we are now. I think Eric Ten Hag made a mistake in accepting to coach Manchester United. Surely even Guardiola would fail under the prevailing circumstances at united.
Just sign him or move on. We don’t want another saga this year.
Sign him
This saga is causing us United faithful to pull our hair out in exasperation. By the end of the transfer widow we shall be bald. This has been the trend for years we are linked with players and our rivals are buying. Then 24 hours before the end of the window the club panic and buy players we don’t need. It’s very frustrating
I think they want the club to releget
