Man Utd have a swap deal that can change everything on Frenkie de Jong transfer

And though the Red Devils have agreed a fee with Barcelona for the 25-year-old, a deal is hanging in the balance.

United are still relaxed about the De Jong situation with Ten Hag, Richard Arnold and John Murtough all willing to be patient as they look to get a deal over the line.

But Chelsea pose a genuine threat, especially given how they can offer the Netherlands international both a chance to play in the Champions League and to live in London.
