Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is convinced Manchester United will NOT sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong.

United have been pursuing a deal for De Jong, 25, since the transfer window opened in June.

When speaking to The Byline, the former manager said: "Now it looks like De Jong wants to go to Chelsea, I know that for a fact, he wants to go to Chelsea.

"Man United are not going to get him. I've had that from somebody right at the very, very, very top at Man United, he's made up [his mind], he really wants to go to Chelsea.
