Fichajes claims that Manchester United is keeping an eye on Frenkie de Jong’s status and will pursue him again in the summer. The midfielder from Barcelona is available for the Red Devils to join for €80 million.
Frenkie de Jong remained Manchester United’s focal point of interest throughout the summer. But Erik ten Hag’s long pursuit of his former disciple ended in utter disappointment.
Manchester United brought in Christian Eriksen and Casemiro to tighten their midfield loopholes. But both of them offer a very different kind of qualities than the Barcelona midfielder. The lure of the UEFA Champions League held the player back at Camp Nou. But it kind of backfired as the Catalan giants are on the verge of getting demoted to the Europa League.
Their recent El Clasico loss to Real Madrid also has had severe effects on de Jong’s future plans, and he might have a change of heart next summer. Manchester United did reach an €85 million agreement with Barcelona this summer but failed to reach an agreement with the player.
