MANCHESTER UNITED have been given a big boost in their pursuit of Ansu Fati.
That’s after he was urged to quit Barcelona by his DAD.
The forward, 20, has made 24 league appearances this season.
But most of them have come from the bench.
And several clubs including Manchester United are on red alert this summer.
Fati wants to stay and fight for his place at the Nou Camp.

But agent Jorge Mendes is thought to have already offered Fati to Europe’s major clubs.
And now his dad has spoken out after holding showdown talks with Barcelona chiefs at the start of the week.

Bori Fati admits his son remains determined to remain in Catalonia for the time being.

But he also sensationally refused to rule out a move to rivals Real Madrid in the future.
Fati Sr told El Partidazo: “It bothers me how they are treating Ansu.
“They give him one, two, three minutes. I am very disappointed, he deserved much more.
“Why doesn’t Xavi play him more? I don’t have an answer. We’re talking about the No10 of Barcelona.
“I’m angry, it’s true. As a father I see Ansu for a short time and it p****s me off but I think as a father, not as a coach.
“I have told Ansu it is better for him to have a change of scenery but he doesn’t agree, he wants to stay and succeed at Barcelona.
“I am not going to criticise Real Madrid because life takes many turns and you never know what can happen.”
