Man Utd plans de Jong talks as Maguire retains captain band
United are in the 10th week with regards to discussions over recruiting the Netherlands international.
Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough are in Barcelona, as the club attempt to finalise the signing of Frenkie de Jong.
Arnold and Murtough did not travel to Thailand for the first leg of United's pre-season tour and new manager Erik ten Hag has identified De Jong as his priority target.
Sources in Spain have suggested that Arnold and Murtough could meet De Jong as United approach the 10th week with regards to discussions over recruiting the Netherlands international.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag has confirmed Harry Maguire will remain as United captain for next season and doesn't see retaining the skipper as an issue.
Maguire was under pressure for his place in the side last season, during a disappointing campaign for the club and the 29-year-old personally.
With United chasing Lisandro Martinez this summer Maguire will face more competition for his place and there had been speculation that Ten Hag might appoint a new captain.
