Manchester United ‘reignite interest in Frenkie de Jong’ with Barcelona midfielder eager to ‘play alongside Casemiro’… and Erik ten Hag ‘hopes sampling the Old Trafford feel-good factor last week will help persuade him

March 3, 2023

Manchester United are ready to reignite their interest in Frenkie de Jong, with reports stating Erik ten Hag has earmarked the 25-year-old as a primary target for the summer transfer window. De Jong looked set to join the Red Devils last summer after Manchester United had agreed financial terms with Barcelona. However, the Dutchman decided to stay with the Catalan giants instead. De Jong is now said to be open to signing for Man United after Ten Hag’s side beat Barcelona in the knockout play-off round of this season’s Europa League.
