 Another day, another rumor linking  Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United , who desperately need midfield  reinforcements.  Man United is close to agreeing to  a £20.5 million per year contract to  sign De Jong this summer, according  to an exclusive story published by  The Daily Star Sunday (press  image below).  The Red Devils are having trouble  signing quality players, according  to a British news outlet, because they  will not be competing in the Champions  League next season.  United is willing to offer De Jong  the highest-paid player available  to the Catalan giants in order to entice  him to join the Old Trafford club.  Man United is thought to be willing  to pay him £395,000 (£20.5 million)  a week.

  Barcelona and Manchester United  have agreed on a transfer cost  for Frenkie de Jong, according to famous  Spanish journalist Oriol Domenech  during an appearance on Onze. Despite  maintaining touch with Erik ten  Hag, the Dutch midfielder is not interested  in joining the Red Devils.  Frenkie de Jong joined Barcelona  from Ajax in July 2019 and has had  a difficult time at the Camp Nou since  then. Despite the fact that the 25- year-old has been one of Barcelona's  most consistent performances in  recent years, the Catalan giants have  not had much success during this time.  So far, the Dutch midfielder has  appeared 140 times for Barcelona, scoring  13 goals and providing 17 assists.  De Jong, on the other hand, faces  an uncertain future at the club.

  Edinson Cavani has insisted he  will leave Manchester United with  happy memories despite the club's  dismal campaign and his own injury -hit season as he confirmed his  Old Trafford exit. The 35-year-old Uruguayan striker  had been widely expected to depart  the club in the summer after two  years at United. Cavani enjoyed a bright start to his  career in England, scoring 17  goals in his first season for the Red Devils. But he struggled in his second campaign  with just two goals in 20 appearances  as he missed large parts of the season  with various injury problems. Cavani quickly became a popular  figure among United fans but  supporters have grown frustrated  with his lack of game time. He has only completed 90 minutes  for the club once since the start  of January, which came in the 1-0  defeat to Crystal Palace in United's  final game of the season last Sunday. In an interview with United's website , Cavani thanked the supporters  and admitted he hoped for more  th

   Eric Bailly has a number of alternatives  open to him as he pursues a move  away from Manchester United this  summer.  United are about to enter one of the  most critical periods in their recent  history, with new manager Erik ten Hag  charged with fast turning things around . The Dutchman will see his first Red  Devils game this weekend, in the final  game of a disappointing Premier  League season.  Regardless of the outcome versus  Crystal Palace, United's worst Premier  League season will go down in history , with a loss likely to see them tumble  into the Europa Conference League  next season.  Ten Hag is expected to have complete  influence over all recruitment decisions  as he attempts to end the slump.

  Manchester United may sign  up to six big names this summer , according to the latest odds. Erik ten Hag is expected to ignite  a squad revamp this summer after  a dismal campaign at Old Trafford.  Midfielders are top of the priority  list with four current central players  set to leave next month, including  Paul Pogba. Ten Hag is said to have a transfer  budget of £120m, which he will  have to spend wisely. Now, bookies  have outlined which players they  are favourites to land in the close -season. Sky Bet  have listed a host of stars  who  United  are supposedly leading  the race for. Here they are in rank  order, from most to least likely.

The pair have a good  relationship from their time in their  homeland and the new United boss  is hoping to convince the Netherlands  international to make the flight  over to England.

 According to journalist Fabrizio  Romano, Manchester United transfer  target Darwin Nunez will '100%'  leave Benfica this summer.  Nunez has decided to leave the  Portuguese club, according to Romano's  Here We Go podcast.  Nunez scored 34 goals in all competitions  for Benfica, including the goal that  eliminated Erik ten Hag's Ajax  from the Champions League.  United scouted Nunez, according  to A Bola, and The Athletic claims  the Red Devils are among the  front runners to sign him.  Darwin Nunez will 'completely ' depart.  "He had a tremendous season,"  Romano said. He made a choice.  He is 100% certain to depart Benfica  this summer.  "I've heard a lot of rumors about  him, but I'm told he's fine."
