Barcelona president Joan Laporta has rubbished reports the club have accepted an offer from Manchester United for midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with the 25-year-old, whom he managed at Ajax, and United have been pushing to bring the Netherlands international to Old Trafford.

Kick-off for this match is scheduled at 20:45 BST.
Celta Vigo
Barca might have nothing to play for here, but things are quite different for Celta. Los Gallegos have been an underachieving side during the entire 2018/19 season and, as a result, they ve spent most of the campaign flirting with a potential relegation threat. But they v…
