Man United misery deepens with number one transfer target ready to SNUB move

Posted by

In a potentially HUGE blow for Manchester United, Frenkie de Jong is reportedly intent on staying at Barcelona this summer.

Man United have been in talks with Barcelona over signing de Jong for several weeks now. The Dutchman is evidently high on Erik ten Hag’s list of priorities for his maiden summer transfer window.

Despite negotiations repeatedly stalling and both parties having dragged their heels, The Athletic reported just yesterday that Man United are now confident of finding an agreement with Barca.

Naturally, Red Devils supporters grew excited at the prospect of landing their number one summer target – and a much-needed midfielder, with their current options being sub-par.

However, all is not as it seems. Local outlet SPORT now report that de Jong is ready to snub a move to Man United as he remains intent on making it at the Nou Camp.

Despite his sale appearing to be somewhat of a financial necessity for Barcelona, de Jong is not prepared to be pushed into a transfer that he is not interested in making this summer.

Whether Man United will be able to convince him to change his mind remains to be seen, but do they really want to be splashing out on players that don’t actually want to join them?
