Manchester United’s Frenkie de Jong valuation has been revealed by Rob Dawson at ESPN. Manchester United would prefer a base of £50-60 million for the Dutchman before add-ons because any more would hinder their chances of upgrading the squad elsewhere. United are thought to have a budget of around £120 million, so will have to spend wisely.
A deal for the Dutchman to move to the Theatre of Dreams is edging closer, with a second offer reportedly being prepared.
