Man Utd 'reach' £77m for 'mystery' player as they 'break down any Barcelona  resistance' to transfer

Man Utd have agreed to pay €90m (£77m) for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong  in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

There are set to be some major changes at Old Trafford over the next few months after Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed a deal to buy 27.7 per cent of the Premier League club earlier this month.

As part of the agreement, Ratcliffe and INEOS will take over the football operation at Man Utd with the British billionaire already making some significant changes.

Omar Berrada will arrive in the summer as the club’s new CEO from arch-rivals Man City, while Southampton’s Jason Wilcox has joined as the new technical director at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag’s side did reach the FA Cup final on Sunday but even that was an embarrassment with Coventry City almost coming from three goals down to win before Man Utd scraped through on penalties.

There could also be a big turnover of playing personnel with Ratcliffe looking to get recruitment right in the summer after over a decade of failed transfers
