Manchester United: Frenkie de Jong update emerges
Manchester United have reportedly made the ‘strongest bid’ for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
The Lowdown: Ten Hag to watch Palace match
As we all know, Erik ten Hag will be the man in charge at Old Trafford next season, taking over from Ralf Rangnick. The Dutchman has terminated his Ajax deal six weeks early in order to get going with the Red Devils.
Ten Hag will reportedly be in attendance for the final game of the season away to Crystal Palace this afternoon, and an update has emerged prior to the game on key target De Jong.
The Latest: ‘Strongest bid’ by United
Sport Witness relayed an update from Sport regarding United and De Jong on Friday. They claimed that Ten Hag is pushing the move for De Jong and that the Red Devils have made the ‘strongest bid’ so far.
The report adds that Barcelona would be ‘willing to sell’ the midfielder, who Xavi called a ‘genius’, and won’t go below a fee in the region of €80m (£67.6m).
De Jong at Old Trafford?
Yes, would be perfect!
No, look elsewhere!
The Verdict: Get it done
Ten Hag knows just how to get the best out of his fellow countryman following their successful time together at Ajax.
United are also in desperate need of midfield reinforcements with Nemanja Matic set to leave and Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata all out of contract over the coming weeks.
Therefore, it would be ideal if the club could get a deal in place as soon as possible, which will then allow them to explore further additions, including possibly another marquee midfielder to play alongside De Jong.
