Man United are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer.
Manchester United are hoping to recruit Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong this summer.
Erik ten Hag, United's new manager, wants to sign Frenkie de Jong.
Following rumours in Spain that the club has 'started proceedings' to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, not all Manchester United supporters are convinced.
United are considering a big-money bid for the midfielder, who came off the bench to help the Netherlands beat Wales 2-1 in the Nations League on Wednesday evening, according to the Manchester Evening News. As United try to bolster their midfield options this summer, speculation about his future has grown in recent weeks.
Barcelona head coach Xavi has expressed his wish to maintain hold of the 25-year-old on multiple occasions, but club president Joan Laporta recently revealed that he could be sold in order to help the team financially. De Jong joined Real Madrid from Ajax in 2019 and is regarded as one of the club's most marketable assets.
Barcelona paid £65 million for De Jong three years ago and will most likely want to recoup their investment. United manager Erik ten Hag is keen to reconcile with the former Ajax star and is said to have contacted his agency in an attempt to strike a contract.
Speculation has grown in recent weeks, with many sources from throughout Europe suggesting one thing and then another, making it difficult for United fans to keep up with it all. United has now 'initiated proceedings,' according to Spanish writer Gerard Romero, in an attempt to reach an agreement.
The reaction to the rumor has been varied among United's supporters, with some being ecstatic while others being skeptical.
As you can see, United fans had mixed reactions to the newest news, with some being ecstatic and others treating it with a grain of salt. The transfer season in England opens on Friday, which means that most businesses will see an upsurge in activity.
United will be hoping to close a few signings before flying to Thailand for the start of their preseason trip next month. The start of preseason training is set for June 27.
