Barcelona are currently trying to balance their finance with the sale of de Jong and that's why the first offer from Manchester United was immediately rejected by Barcelona, I think, it's only natural that Barcelona set a high price on Manchester United, especially so far Manchester United is the club most interested to recruited de jong, but I also think that if barcelona stays strong in its stance of course manchester united will look for another midfielder who does have the same quality as de jong but can be obtained at a cheap price, after the first rejection from barcelona, reportedly manchester began to approach Milinkovic-Savic as an alternative if their fails or resigns from de jong, Milinkovic-Savic is currently a midfielder who has quite impressive performances with lazio and it is reported that lazio will be ready to release Milinkovic-Savic if a club is willing to pay 80 million euro.

De Jong will be a bone of contention for any club, Manchester United do need players like him. For a De Jong who can be more attractive in terms of boosting Manhcester United performance. Even with the Milinkovic-Savic alternative, I think De Jong is still above him.

I'm not sure how useful De John will be to Manchester United. While playing for Barcelona, his stats were not so high. If Manchester United's transfer takes place, expectations from De Jong should not be too high. As an average player, he will try to do his duty in the midfield. I think Pogba's departure from the team made a bigger impact.
