Manchester United will make a final last-ditch attempt to lure Frenkie de Jong away from Barcelona as Erik ten Hag instructs Old Trafford chiefs to pull out every possible stop to secure his top summer transfer target.
The Manchester club's hunt for De Jong has turned into the summer's biggest transfer saga as negotiations between the two side's and the player prepare to enter their twelfth week.
United are willing to make the Dutch midfielder the club's highest paid player by matching his current £450,000-a-week salary.
They are also willing to pay the £17million De Jong is owed by Barcelona in deferred wages, as reported by Sport in Spain.
