Manchester United is set to miss out on signing Frenkie De Jong as the midfielder is now prepared to reduce his salary to stay at Barcelona.
The Red Devils have pursued a deal for the Dutchman for much of this transfer window and Barca wanted to sell him.
Both clubs reached an agreement for him to move to Old Trafford, but the former Ajax star rejected United and wanted to clarify his future at Barca amidst reports of being owed salaries.
United has since moved on to sign Casemiro, but they maintained an interest in him as Erik Ten Hag longs for a reunion.
However, it seems he would now remain at Barca after agreeing to accept a pay cut from the club to stay in Catalonya, according to Matchplug.
He would now look to help Xavi Hernandez side to win La Liga this season, but they have not made the best start and there is a lot of competition for the trophy.
