Manchester United are continuing to keep communication open with other midfield targets as they hold talks with Barcelona over a deal for Frenkie de Jong.
United have opened talks with the Catalan giants to try and seal a move for the 25-year-old this summer, but at the moment the two clubs are some way apart in their valuation of the Dutch midfielder.
De Jong is Erik ten Hag's top target to try and improve United's midfield and the pair worked together successfully at Ajax, before De Jong's move to the Nou Camp in the summer of 2019.
He considered that a "dream" move, but Barcelona's dire financial problems mean they are now open to cashing in on De Jong and the player has come to accept that he might need to leave the club this summer.
