It is believed the former Ajax Midfielder is stalling over the deal as he is focused on staying at Barcelona.

The Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United talks becomes a cat chase mouse scenario with two sides pushing for the move while the other remains hesitant over it.

According to some speculations, the Dutch midfielder isn’t willing to leave the Catalans to reunite with his former boss, Erik ten Hag owing to the fact the La Liga club still owes him some wages.

And it is also speculated that the reason Barca wants to sell the player owes to the fact de Jong does not want to agree to a pay cut to help Barcelona balance its wage structure.

It is undecided which has more truth in it but from the reports the only thing holding Frenkie de Jong from signing the contract and becoming a Manchester United player, is Frenkie de Jong himself.

Interesting times lie ahead for both clubs and the player.

Will de Jong finally put on the Red kit of Manchester and be unveiled before the window shuts or is the cat and mouse game going to keep going till one of the clubs bore out?
