Man Utd boosted in signing Barcelona midfielder

Manchester United have been boosted in their pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer.

The Red Devils are set for a big rebuild during the next transfer window, and there could be multiple midfield signings.

Nemanja Matic is set to leave the club while Paul Pogba could also head for the exit door when his contract expires.

Amidst this, incoming boss Erik ten Hag is eyeing more technical midfielders, and De Jong is reportedly the prime target.

United have now been handed a boost in landing him with reports that Barcelona are willing to sell for the right price.

The Catalan giants need to balance their books before June 30, and are prepared to part ways with De Jong's services.

They are set to demand around €70 million, and it is claimed that the Dutchman may only prefer to reunite with Ten Hag.

De Jong worked under Ten Hag at Ajax for a few years. He was instrumental in his development before his big move to Camp Nou.
