The Dutchman ‘liked’ one of the latest posts published on the English club’s Instagram
The signing of the Dutchman is a priority for Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United
Frenkie de Jong has winked at Manchester United on social networks. The Dutchman has given a ‘like’ to one of the latest posts published by the English club on his Instagram account. The publication is a video with the goals of Ruud van Nistelrooy, De Jong’s compatriot, during his time at United and the Dutch national team.
The images are accompanied by the message: “Top tier for club and country” (something like “top tier for your club and your country”). De Jong’s ‘like’ comes at a time when his future at Barça seems more in doubt than ever.
Barça wants to transfer the footballer because they need to cash in and believe they have enough talent to replace him in the squad. Xavi has Pedri, Gavi, Nico, Kessié, Sergi Roberto and the wild card of Pablo Torre for the team’s interiors.
United, meanwhile, dreams of being able to build from De Jong. The English club has promised him to be the key player in the midfield, a situation that he does not have at Barça, where Busquets continues to be the midfielder, and the player for whom he spends the entire game of the team.
DeJong, reluctant to leave Barça, he could end up opting for United, especially after seeing that Barça is doing everything possible to achieve the transfer. This yes, the Barça does not think to lower of the 80 million like transfer price.
The arrival of Ten Hag, the coach with whom De Jong shone the most at Ajax, is key to understand that De Jong is thinking of going to a club that will not play in the Champions League this season. In addition, United’s economic proposal is very interesting for the footballer.
