Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted May 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 12, 2022 Quote DE JONG TO BECOME FIRST TEN HAG SIGNING Manchester United’s new manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly on the cusp of finalising the transfer of Frenkie de Jong. The incoming new Red Devils boss has a huge task on his hands to get his side challenging for the top honours again. Needing to rebuild his side, United have badly underperformed this season and look likely to finish sixth. As such, wholesale changes will need to be made, with as many as 12 players getting the axe. Naturally, Ten Hag wants to strengthen all areas of his side, with defence and attack obvious area to focus on. But his first signing looks increasingly likely to be a midfielder with a deal for De Jong now reportedly close. The Dutch midfielder is reportedly one of nine players that Barca are looking to offload this summer. The Spanish giants remain low on funds and are needing to wheel and deal again this summer. Now, according to transfer expert Gerard Romero, via the Daily Express, a deal to take De Jong to United is now on the brink. He claims United will pay a staggering £69m for the Dutchman. Furthermore, Romero states there is a ’95 per cent probability’ of the midfielder moving to United this summer. Romero adds that Barca boss Xavi would like to keep De Jong, but his sale is purely for ‘economical reasons’. FULL REPORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted May 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 12, 2022 I figure this is a good move for both parties. De Jong was really good in that Ajax side under Ten Hag and I think he'll get the best out of him at United too. Whose place is he going to take is the question? Shame Donny didn't stick on because I feel like he'd get more game time and get back to his best too if he had been in this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,898 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Manchester United will find it ‘particularly difficult’ to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona this summer, with the midfielder preferring a move to Manchester City if he’s to leave the Camp Nou. Reports in Spain on Wednesday night claimed the Dutchman was close to completing a move to Old Trafford, with a deal described as ‘95% likely’. Barcelona are cash-strapped and De Jong is one of their most valuable but disposable assets, with the La Liga giants hoping to raise as much as £65m from his departure. Erik ten Hag worked with De Jong for 18 months at Ajax and helped him to become one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe before his move to Barcelona in 2019. City are viewed as the more likely destination, with Pep Guardiola keen to sign a replacement for Fernandinho. The Premier League champions battled for De Jong’s signature in 2019 but he opted for Spain instead. https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/12/frenkie-de-jong-would-favour-manchester-city-move-over-manchester-united-transfer-16629564/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted May 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 12, 2022 I feel like Ten Hag has more power than Pep here honestly and he has a working relationship with the player that can sway things. Barcelona are strapped for money so they will go to whoever gets the okay nod first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I always felt like hes a bit more multi-functional in his role than a pure DM but having someone like him in that role at United would definitely improve their game.

I also can't see Pep going for him. Traditionally, you'll have had stronger DMs play in that position and De Jong would be a completely different kind of player should he play there.

Pep has already attempted to sign him in 2019, he's a big fan. he'd play next to Rodrigo as more of a box to box for us than an outright DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
