Man Utd boss dead set on signing De Jong from Barcelona

Frenkie de Jong has not had a good 2023/24 season at Barcelona due to several injuries he has suffered throughout the year. The 27-year-old has not been able to play a prominent role for his team, scoring just two goals in 30 appearances.
The Dutch midfielder is one of coach Xavi Hernandez's key players, but it is not only the Spaniard who values him as a player. Several European clubs are keen to snap him up in the next transfer window despite his poor performances in recent months.
Manchester United, who have had their eye on his situation for some time, are willing to negotiate for his transfer in the summer but only if Erik ten Hag remains in charge of the Red Devils. The Dutch manager's future at Old Trafford is uncertain as the English side are currently experiencing one of the worst seasons in their history.
The 54-year-old admitted in an interview that they tried to sign the Dutchman in past transfer windows but that the negotiations were not fruitful. As a result, Ten Hag will not tire of fighting for the transfer of Frenkie de Jong for next campaign if not the next.
