      But De Jong’s reluctance to move to Old Trafford and Barcelona’s inability to pay him £14.5m in outstanding wages has held up the deal.
      And, according to de Telegraaf podcast Kick Off, United’s offer has now expired.
      This looks set to open the door for Chelsea to complete a deal for the Holland international.
      New Blues owner Todd Boehly had been hoping to hijack the De Jong transfer and is now in a perfect position to do so.

      Boehly will be optimistic about completing a fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella.
      Meanwhile, Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is desperate to bring in De Jong after a disastrous start to the season.
      United’s new manager watched his side lose 2-1 to Brighton on the opening weekend.
      And they were then humiliated by Brentford as Ten Hag’s men went down 4-0 before half-time.

      He has already brought in Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez this summer – two players he worked with at Ajax.
      And De Jong was also a product of Ten Hag’s management before he joined Barca in 2019.
      However, Barca president Joan Laporta recently claimed both the player and club want De Jong to remain at the Nou Camp.
      Speaking about the ongoing transfer saga, he said: “He is a Barca player of great quality and we want him to stay.
      “He has offers but we want him to stay and he wants to stay too.” More

      Ten Hag and United initially stood firm on Ronaldo, insisting he will be staying put, despite a number of clubs being linked with a move.
      Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Chelsea and both Milan clubs were mentioned, however a move for Ronaldo hasn’t materialised at this point.
      But a move away for Ronaldo could be made easier with Ten Hag now OPEN to letting the Portugal star leave the club, according to The Athletic.
      Ronaldo has struggled to reintegrate back into the squad following his extended summer time off.

      There have been days where Ronaldo sits by himself during lunch at the canteen at their Carrington training ground.
      Ronaldo has also been flapping his arms about in training and trying to argue against the high-pressing approach implemented by Ten Hag.  
      And following Man Utd’s embarrassing 4-0 loss to Brentford on Saturday, Ronaldo exchanged words with Ten Hag’s No2 Steve McClaren.
      The exchange happened after Ronaldo refused to applaud United’s travelling fans.

      United will sanction the sale of Ronaldo IF they can recruit in the forward areas.
      However, United have found it difficult to find the right players.
      Mauro Icardi, Alvaro Morata and Raul de Tomas have all been linked.
      Ex-West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic was also an option but Man Utd opted against a move.
      A saving grace could be Anthony Martial, who is currently out injured.
      The Frenchman showed signs of promise during pre-season and could be the man to lead the line for the Red Devils going forward. More

      In the video, the man who was with Rabiot said: “I am here with the great player Rabiot, of Juventus, now in England. So I wish you the best brother. Bye bye.”
      To which Rabiot responded: “Thank you. Bye.”
      Rabiot, 27, has been linked with a £15million move to Man United from Serie A side Juventus.
      And following United football director John Murtough’s visit to Turin to finalise the deal, it now appears to be all but complete.

      Murtough jetted off to Italy last week to negotiate Rabiot’s contract details with his agent and mum Veronique.
      The talks reportedly went well, and now the video which has emerged today appears to show the fruits of that labour from the two parties.
      Man United were plunged deeper into crisis this week following the 4-0 humiliation against Brentford.
      The Red Devils were 4-0 down inside 35 minutes, the quickest they have ever conceded four goals in the Premier League era.

      United’s goal this window has been to try and recruit Frenkie De Jong, but this has thus far proved fruitless and instead United have opted to try and sign Rabiot.
      The deal for him has met backlash from fans and pundits alike, with ex-player Lou Macari openly questioning the transfer on United’s in-house channel MUTV.
      SunSport revealed Rabiot’s stats were worse than midfield counterparts Fred and Scott McTominay, so it’s clear to see why some might be disillusioned with the transfer. More

      United considered a move for Aubemeyang when he left the Emirates Stadium under a cloud in January.
      And the uncertainty over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is forcing them to look at every possible option – which led to the embarrassing saga over former Stoke star Marko Arnautovic.
      Barcelona would be open to selling Aubameyang as part of their own struggles to revamp their squad.
      The Spanish giants pulled off some financial gymnastics that allowed them to register four of their summer signings – Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen – in time for their opening La Liga game against Rayo Vallecano.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      But former Chelsea and Manchester City target Jules Kounde is still unable to play, as are Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto despite agreeing new contracts at the Camp Nou.
      At the time Aubameyang joined Barcelona, it was reported he would earn about £2.1m over the initial five months of his contract.
      But his wages were supposed to rise considerably from this season, which would explain why the club is willing to let him go.
      United face a big challenge to persuade Aubameyang to choose them over Chelsea.

      The frontman, 33, worked with Blues boss Thomas Tuchel at Dortmund and would prefer to join a club that can offer Champions League football, if he is forced out of Barcelona.
      United are also up against Chelsea in their bid to sign another Barca star, Frenkie De Jong.
      The Dutchman is understood to prefer a move to Stamford Bridge to being reunited with former Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag.
      The summer-long saga with De Jong has led United to look at other targets.

      Football director John Murtough has just returned from Turin where he held discussions about signing France international midfielder Adrien Rabiot with the player’s mother, who is also his agent.
      Rabiot would be a much cheaper option than De Jong, with Juventus willing to sell for about £15m.
      But failing to bring in Ten Hag’s top target, De Jong, would be a major blow and United’s pursuit of Aubameyang may well also end in disappointment. More
