Frenkie de Jong could make a surprise decision to join Manchester United this summer with the player upset over the treatment given to him by the Barcelona board who are keen to offload him.
The Catalan giants have been facing increasing concerns on the financial front and De Jong’s sale is expected to allow them to register new signings and bring in a couple of new recruits from the market before the transfer window slams shut.
According to a report from the Spanish news outlet Sport, it is claimed that De Jong has admitted to his Barcelona teammates that he could be interested in making the move to Old Trafford despite his earlier reluctance.
Should the Holland international midfielder make this big U-turn over his decision to stay put with Barca beyond the summer, United would be more than delighted to snap up their priority target in De Jong and bolster their midfield ranks.
Eric ten Hag has identified his former Ajax player as a top name on his shopping list with the Dutch coach eager to reinforce his squad after a terrible start to the new campaign which has seen them lose their opening two games.
