In recent updates from transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano, it has been confirmed that there are currently no discussions between Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Manchester United.
This means that the Premier League side has not reached out to either the player or Barcelona regarding a transfer.
As the summer transfer window approaches its conclusion, rumours linking de Jong to Manchester United have resurfaced.

According to these reports, Manchester United were prepared to offer between £30 million and £40 million to secure his services during the current transfer window.
