Manchester United boss expects a reunion with Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong to come to fruition and has instructed his transfer chiefs to stay the course.
The transfer saga has rumbled on for over three months now, but United remain undeterred in their pursuit of the Dutch international.
De Jong is said to be happy in Barcelona, but the Catalan giants have finances to consider and if they wish to appease La Liga and register a whole host of new signings, the midfielder would be the logical departure.
A deal that could rise to £72million was tentatively agreed between the two clubs last month.
