Man Utd have ‘belief’ Frenkie de Jong will have medical next week to complete £70m switch | Football | Sport

Pressing on for De Jong has provoked a mixed response from fans, given that the player has hardly shown a real desire to play for the club. Nevertheless, his arrival would be a real statement and a welcome morale boost after watching bitter rivals Liverpool close in on attacking target Darwin Nunez. 

The United hierarchy are set for a long summer given that De Jong’s arrival will likely be followed up by a host of other new faces, including a striker, a centre-back and a right-back. Inter Milan transfer chief Piero Ausilio is reportedly in London to conduct transfer meetings, with Denzel Dumfries interesting the Red Devils as a possible replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
