New boss Erik ten Hag is eager to meet with him after the pair enjoyed a successful spell together at Ajax.
However, Barcelona are expecting around £80million for their services.
The Red Devils have already had a £60million bid turned down, but they intend to keep pushing until an agreement is reached.
And now, De Jong has given further indication that he could leave this summer.
According to Spanish outlet AS, he has completely cleared out his locker at Barcelona’s training ground.
He is also refusing to rule out the possibility of a move away, with Man Utd the only club interested in a swoop.
While the Red Devils have placed De Jong at the top of their transfer wishlist, they are also looking to strengthen in other areas of the pitch.
Ten Hag is said to be keen to reunite with Ajax winger Antony, who is expected to cost up to £51million.
