In a shocking turn of events, the west London club are also in talks with Barcelona for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who is also on Manchester United's radar. As per The Express, Manchester United have been seriously pursuing the Dutchman. The club are eager to sign a replacement for Paul Pogba, who left Old Trafford after the expiration of his contract on June 30. Former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with De Jong at United. Chelsea could, however, hijack Manchester United's move. The Blues possess a couple of aging midfielders in Jorginho and N'Golo Kante, who are in their thirties and have entered the final year of their respective contracts. Thomas Tuchel's side will therefore be keen to sign long-term replacements for the duo.
