Manchester United chief opens up on club’s pursuit of Frenkie de Jong

Manchester United chief executive officer Richard Arnold has been captured on video chatting to supporters about the club’s pursuit of Frenkie de Jong.

The midfielder has long made it clear that he doesn’t want to leave Barcelona, but it seems the Red Devils are still convinced they can bring him to Old Trafford.

United have reportedly already had a €70 million offer rejected by Barca and don’t want to meet the club’s €85m asking price, but Arnold says money is not an issue for his club.

“As a club we’re doing everything possible to get the deal done,” he said.
