Frenkie de Jong 'tells Man United and his Barcelona team-mates he will NOT move to Old Trafford this summer' despite £63m deal being agreed, with Erik ten Hag set to miss out on his top transfer target amid wrangle over £17m in deferred wages

Frenkie de Jong has reportedly told Manchester United and his Barcelona team-mates that he will not move to Old Trafford this summer.

United are desperate to sign the Dutch midfielder and have had a £63million bid accepted by Barca, but the transfer is still no closer to going through.

That is largely down to de Jong having no desire to make the move, as he is still owed £17million in wages by the Spanish side.
