Manchester United have managed to tempt Barcelona well by putting at least 800 million kroner on the table to make a change, everyone knows how intensely big Spanish clubs need money. – For the midfielder himself, the arrival of his old Ajax boss Erik ten Hag should be tempting enough to at least not protest against a transfer.

Manchester United midfielder Frenkie de Jong admits he is “flattered” by reports linking him to one of the biggest teams in the world.

During his time in the national team, De Jong was asked several times about the future of the club. His final answer was: “You are always flattered when the team shows interest in you as a player.

“But I think I’m at the biggest club in the world at the moment and I feel good there, so no news.”

De Jong’s “flattering” comments suggest he would be open to joining United before next season. They may not be the superpowers they used to be, but it’s still a great opportunity to play there. This was especially the case now with Ten Hag at the helm.
