Man United are nonetheless seeking to make a transfer to signal Frenkie de Jong from FC Barcelona.
Solid your thoughts again to final summer season. Manchester United spent loads of time chasing the signature of Frenkie de Jong, who appeared to all the time reaffirm his want to stay in Catalonia.
In the long run, the Reds got here up quick. They’d accept a transfer to usher in Mason Mount, who has hardly set the world alight to this point. Largely on account of damage.
Now, Sport have supplied an replace on that entrance. They declare that United ‘completely’ nonetheless wish to signal the 26-year-old Dutchman, who Ten Hag beforehand labored with at Ajax.
De Jong’s future is as soon as once more up within the air, although this time, he’s now not closing the door on an exit if the suitable supply is available in.
It’s claimed that there was no progress in contract talks, with United remaining ‘very attentive’ to his state of affairs.
United can be keen to bid for the midfielder if he’s accessible, whereas Ten Hag ‘completely’ nonetheless needs to signal the participant if that’s the case.
I’m all for making an attempt, however I wouldn’t waste an excessive amount of time and vitality on the transfer. It looks like De Jong and his agent might use United with a purpose to leverage a greater deal at Barca. It wouldn’t be the primary time a participant has performed this.
I perceive that Barca are in a state of affairs the place they should promote with a purpose to increase some funds, however would they actually money in on De Jong? I’m not satisfied.
