Midfielder Frenkie de Jong of Barcelona is not a target for Manchester United during the summer transfer window.
According to reports, a deal between the Red Devils and Ajax to acquire the Netherlands international midfielder is nearly complete.
Although discussions over add-ons costing approximately €20 million are still ongoing, the Blaugrana have agreed to a fixed package worth approximately €65 million.
De Jong would rather stay at Barcelona than transfer to Old Trafford this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo.
De Jong is not overjoyed with the prospect of working with Erik ten Hag once more given United's failure in the Champions League.
According to a Spanish newspaper, Chelsea is apparently interested in signing the 25-year-old midfielder.
De Jong would prefer to play in the middle of the field, which would require the sale of either Jorginho or N'Golo Kante.
This week, Manchester United is reportedly on the verge of signing a star midfielder.
Before their preseason vacation to Australia, Manchester United is reportedly close to signing Christian Eriksen, according to The Mirror.

United and Liverpool will face off in a friendly match in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 12.
After the game, they'll be met in Australia by Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace.
The following game will be a friendly versus Aston Villa in Perth. Eriksen is anticipated to join the group at the conclusion of the current time frame.

Tyrell Malacia might end up being their second summer acquisition. In addition, Thomas Strakosha, a goalkeeper, is almost ready to sign with Manchester United.
