Manchester United are ready to wait until the final day of the summer transfer window to sign Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, according to reports.
The Dutch star is new United manager Erik ten Hag's top target as he looks to overhaul his squad after a hugely disappointing season but is publicly reluctant to move to Old Trafford.
And as reported by the Sun, Ten Hag, 52, is not giving up and is willing to hold out until the last second to sign gifted central midfielder De Jong, who was his 'favourite player' while managing at former club Ajax.
