Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is desperate NOT to be sold to Manchester United.

Sport says De Jong has no interest in joining Manchester United because he dislikes the city and believes the club is run erratically.

De Jong has absolutely no interest in heading to Old Trafford this summer and would rather head to Chelsea should he be pushed out of Barcelona for a move to the Premier League.

De Jong does not want to leave Barcelona but the Catalan giants need to shift him from the wage bill in order to register their new signings - which include Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen - with LaLiga.

He has zero interest in making the move to Manchester, a city he is not a fan of.

He is also said to hold real concerns over how United function, with the player's view said to be that it is run 'erratically' by management.

A third factor working against United is that they cannot offer him Champions League football next season having only managed to secure Europa League football prior to Erik ten Hag's arrival.
