Unfortunate Manchester United, Insists On Chasing Frenkie De Jong But Always Rejected

JAKARTA - Manchester United is reportedly not giving up chasing Barcelona midfielder, Frenkie de Jong. Every effort was made to get the Dutchman.

Manchester United is eyeing De Jong as Paul Pogba's successor. The former Ajax Amsterdam player is believed to be very suitable to fill that role.

Moreover, De Jong already has experience working with the new manager of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag. It's no secret, it was Ten Hag who asked the club management to bring in the player.

Unfortunately, the Red Devils' intention to recruit De Jong has been rejected many times. Not only from Barcelona, but also from the player.

The refusal was made subtly. De Jong said he was flattered to be interested in a club like Manchester United.

However, he still feels comfortable in Barcelona and has no reason to move.

"You are always flattered when the team shows interest in you as a player," said De Jong, as quoted by Livescore.

"However, I think I am at the biggest club in the world at the moment. I feel fine here, so there is no news."

However, the opportunity for Manchester United to get De Jong remains. The key is Barcelona's financial problems. If you are able to bid with a tempting value, it is not impossible for the Blaugrana to finally release their flagship player.
